Open a record in an iframe via a button Topic is solved

[yvesf]

Hello,

I'm aware that using a run object from another record allows me to open a related record efficiently in a pop-up, a new breadcrumb, or within the current breadcrumb. Is there a way to achieve the same functionality within an iframe?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Yves

Hi,

Use the JS nuForm() and pass parameter '1'

1 = Open Form in the current Breadcrumb.

In fact, it isn't exactly the question.
I have attached a database to explain my case

2025-03-17_160747_67d856e3a3907_nuBuilder_backup.zip

:
-click on Home
-open a task in the list
- click on the button assigned user details to present the user's details
Currently it opens in the current Breadcrumb.
I would like to have it opening in the second iframe on the right hand side of the screen.
Many thx,

Yves

Could you explain in more detail what you're trying to do? I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

I want to click on a task in the list to see its details—including the assigned customer's info—and have those customer details appear in the second iframe on the right. This way, I can view both the tasks and the customer details at the same time instead of switching views.

I see 3 possibilities:

Use ...

1) a subform
2) an iframe (browse)
3) Display objects

Hi,

I think a bit more context might help.
I have a front-end user who creates a task and assigns it to another user.
A second team is reviewing these tasks and might need to see more details about the assigned user.

Would it be possible, from a button, to load the related user’s details into an iframe?
Alternatively, perhaps display fields could be used for this purpose.

I’m not sure how a subform would fit this use case.
More generally, is it possible to refresh or target an iframe from another iframe via a button in it ?

Thank you for your help!

A Display object could look like this:

Hi Kevin,
how do you manage the line breaks in the display object?

In the SELECT query, I used CONCAT with a pipe character and then transferred the output into a readonly textarea. I can also share the code if you'd like.
