Grouped Action "External: open a file" only opens one file instead of multiple

[Adolfo_Enrique]

Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue with a Grouped Action in AppSheet. My goal is to allow users to download/open two PDF files (Doc2 and Doc3) stored in the same row with a single click.

My current setup:

1. Action A: External: open a file → Target: [Doc2] (Condition: ISNOTBLANK([Doc2]))

2. Action B: External: open a file → Target: [Doc3] (Condition: ISNOTBLANK([Doc3]))

3. Grouped Action: Executes Action A and then Action B.

The issue: When both fields contain files, clicking the Grouped Action button only opens one of the two files (usually the second one). It seems like the second command overrides the first one, or the browser fails to trigger two simultaneous download/open requests.

What I’ve already checked:

• I have verified browser pop-up blockers. Even with pop-ups allowed, only one file opens.

• Individual actions work perfectly when triggered separately.

• The table is ColaboradorTipoDocumentacion and the column types are set to File.

Is there a known technical limitation in AppSheet that prevents opening multiple files simultaneously via a Grouped Action? Has anyone found a reliable workaround to trigger multiple downloads at once without having to display separate buttons for each file?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

AppSheet has a limitation that once any kind of navigation type action is used, the action processing flow ends. This is true for action that opens other app views as well as any action navigating away from the app - such as opening a file.

I hope this helps!
