Solved: Grouped actions can't open multiple websites - Page 2

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?

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.

try replacing the group actions with a single action that acts on several rows in a table

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.
