URL Parameter Bug After Update

[AnthonyJonesRSK]

Hi,

I have an ExB application that I have embedded with URL parameters to open a particular window and a particular view in that window. So my URL parameter includes the following "?dlg=Help-Window&views=Welcome-View". N.B. I'm aware I could just set this as a splash screen but I think when I originally developed the app this threw up some other issue although I can't quite remember what.

Anyway, before the update this worked fine, however I'm now seeing some odd behaviour. When a user closes the window it seems like the view part of the URL, "?views=Welcome-View", remains despite the window having been closed.

This is then causing issues with filters I have configured where the filter options appear behind the filter window like below.

If I remove the view parameter from the URL then the filter behaves as expected with the options appearing over the filter widget.

I'm aware this is a very unique issue but if someone from the Experience Builder team could investigate if something in the update has impacted how URL parameters behave for windows this would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Anthony

Hi @AnthonyJonesRSK I would suggest an Esri Support case if possible so they can investigate the specific configuration to reproduce this. https://support.esri.com/en-us/contact

Hi @AnthonyJonesRSK ,

I cannot reproduce this bug. It would be very helpful if you could provide a sample app.

Thanks,

Hi @StephanieW  and @ShengdiZhang.,

Thank you both for your responses on this it's much appreciated.

After a bit more testing I think I've been able to recreate this issue and have created this app here to demonstrate the problem. 

It's fairly niche but if you access the app and use the filter it should display as expected. However, if you then select the button which is linked to a view in a window and then close that window the filter will no longer display correctly. You can see that the URL maintains reference to the view despite the window being closed. If you delete this part of the URL, the filter behaves as expected. I also discovered that the filter worked fine unless the option arrangement style was changed to "icon". Like I said, niche but we hadn't seen this issue before the update so looks like something has changed.

I've updated my main app for now so my help button links to just the window and not the view inside the window. This just means that the user will be taken back to the view they previously accessed rather than the default one. Not a big problem but just not sure if the view should stay as part of the URL when a window is closed?

Thanks

Anthony
