Not really https://limey.io/blog/why-we-avoid-using-target_blank-and-when-we-should-use-it At minimum : https://checklists.opquast.com/en/digital-quality/the-user-is-warned-before-new-windows-are-opened Add a clear information |

It doesn't kick you from the Limesurvey, you need to use back in history button in your browser and you will still be logged in. @DenisChenu do you think we should add a confirmation modal or something similar to open the link in same tab? |
|
|
We are inside a form here ? Not really since it's the list and we don't have real form (no save button) Then maybe ! if we want to open on a new window
I don't have a strong opinion here. |
|
|
Can you just make it open in a new tab? |
|
Yes, but need to be sure if we what we want :) |
|
|
Yes this is how we want it, open it in new tab please. |
|
|
@ritapas : unsure it was an issue, no form here, then
|

See https://limey.io/blog/why-we-avoid-using-target_blank-and-when-we-should-use-it Here, I'm not sur we need a link to a new windows : there are no real reason. |
|
|
well, I see your point but I agree with Tibor: in my opinion it's not nice to click a link inside Limesurvey and find out you are in a new website, so I agree with him that a different web site should be opened in a new tab - or at least ask for confirmation. |
|
|
@DenisChenu please make it open in a new tab. Thank you |
|
|
Yes, PR in some minutes. I think i found an issue with description translation :) |
