After building a temporary custom page - working with base application tables we have identified that the copy link button cannot be used accordingly as opening the link gives an error message.


If the page is being opened through the search bar and Copy link functionality is used - the page cannot be accessed through the copied link - giving the error message.


However, if the page is being bookmarked and accessed through the bookmark on the homepage, the copy link functionality is working accordingly, and we are able to access the page, however we identified a change in the URL address after bookmarking the page - we see a node parameter being added.


When we open the page through the search bar the link we have in the URL (without the node parameter included) - the link is copying also references to the actual record. As this is a temporary page with temporary data - the data cannot be allocated, and this is always failing hence the error message appearing.

 

Bookmarking to the role center and copying the link, would change the link as a reference for bookmarking and execute the query again. 

 

This is where the change in URL also appears from.

 

A suggestion on the current situation: As the link is copying also the reference to the actual record, however as this is a temporary table the data there is temporary, so referencing the record results in the error. However, for temporary pages if we reference the page itself (number of the page) rather than the record we will not see this issue occurring.

 

Repro steps:

  1. Open temporary page from search bar - use copy link functionality - try to access page through the link - error message occurs
  2. Bookmark the page - go to home screen - access the page through bookmark - use copy link functionality - access page through new link - you can access the page.

This is a wonderful idea!

Absolutely agree that this should be resolved. A link to temp page, should open just the page, ignoring any reference data.
