https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/configure-custom-widget-to-open-at-app-startup-in/m-p/1213736#M78740 <P>Hi, I have a custom widget built in WAB dev edition. Our client is running the widget in their onsite Portal and wants the widget to activate on application startup.&nbsp;</P><P>I found the "openAtStart" flag but that belongs to a config file (server/apps/{id}/config.json) that is not accessible to me or anyone building apps in WAB on the portal. (Locally on my WAB dev the flag works well.)</P><P>My understanding is that there is nothing I can do in the widget's code/config to make it open at app startup (in which case this question is more suited for a portal/WAB forum) but maybe I am wrong.</P> Mon, 19 Sep 2022 08:09:06 GMT ViktorSafar 2022-09-19T08:09:06Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/configure-custom-widget-to-open-at-app-startup-in/m-p/1213736#M78740 <P>Hi, I have a custom widget built in WAB dev edition.
