Why does a new tab open every time I click on a linked card?

Chargé de projets - Rigaud January 30, 2023

Hello, 

Since this morning, a new tab is created every time I click on a linked card. In the past, the clicked linked card would open in the same tab, which made it much easier to manipulate. 

I'm a premium member and have created custom rules on my board to automatically create a new card every time i add an item to a checklist (with the title of the new card that features the title of the parent card). 

You can understand that with many cards having numerous checklists, I am often clicking on child cards. The fact that it now all of a sudden creates new tabs is quite cumbersome. 

I'm not sure if this a simple feature that can be toggled on or off, but I would like to avoid having dozens of tabs open at once...

I hope that my explanation is clear.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gino (Project Manager)

@Chargé de projets - Rigaud  Hi there, and thanks for reporting this issue. I don't believe this is an expected change in behavior. I've passed the bug along to our developers, and hopefully we can get it fixed soon. Thanks again for letting us know!

Any update on a fix to this?

I appreciate that this is an old thread but the issue seems to not have been resolved - for me at least. Clicking on a linked card from a calendar view continues to open that card in a separate tab. Equally frustrating when using the desktop app, as a new instance of the app is opened every time.

Any update on a fix?

Hi @atomcreativemedia I am not able to reproduce this anymore, as we fixed the originally reported issue nearly a year ago. Can you give more specific details on your environment and the steps i could take reproduce the unexpected behavior? I'm trying:

  • Copy the URL of a card
  • Create a checklist
  • Paste the card into checklist item input and press enter to create a checklist item (that links to the card)
  • Click on the checklist item title (which is a card link)

Actual result (which is also the expected behavior): The card opens in the same tab

I'm using Chrome on Mac.
