Grouped actions can't open multiple websites

[chrismiller015]

I am trying to create a grouped action button that will open 3 websites as new tabs. To test this, I created 2 actions:

1. "Google" this action executes External: Go To A Website "https://www.google.com"

2. "Yahoo" this action executes External: Go To A Website "https://www.yahoo.com"

3. "Sequence" this action executes Grouped: execute a sequence of actions;

 - yahoo

- google

I have tried setting the "launch external browser" toggle both on & off with no effect. Only 1 tab (the first) ever opens. Can appsheet just not open multiple browser tabs?

Navigation actions inside a group, will stop the execution of latter actions. Since you don't care about the order in which the taps would open, try replacing the group actions with a single action that acts on several rows in a table.

So triggering a website open action will kill the execution, meaning I can only open one website per button click, and a grouped action is no help to me?

when you say " try replacing the group actions with a single action that acts on several rows in a table. " are you suggestion I can open websites utilizing this? or just telling me the proper way to use a grouped action button?

A navigation action is the one used to navigate away from the current view, to open a website, to open a file, or to go to another app view. You can use a navigation action within a grouped action providing that it is the last action in the ordered list; because inside the grouped action, when the navigation action is reached, the subsequent actions in the group will not be launched.

This is only a suggested alternative for the purpose of opening multiple websites. Grouped actions function correctly with no issue other than taking into account the consideration above when you have a navigation action in the group.

Same problem, I have a  single action that acts on several rows in a table and only allow me open the first one website.

Apparently this is expected. A 'Navigation' action (like opening a website) cancels all subsequent links in the chain. Your only option is to make that the last part of the action, or not include it in the action at all
