How can I determine the HTML name of a window opened in PEGA?
My application has an attachments popup window that can cause users to open quite a few popup windows as they open the attachments. I have a requirement to close those child windows upon closure of the parent attachments window.
I have written JavaScript that given an array or CSV list of window names close them. I have successfully tested this in I.E. sandbox. I also have all the framework to store these window names if i am able to determine them.
We are opening these windows via an event-action pairing in the UI using "Open URL in Window" which calls an activity that does a "show HTML" step. I need to determine what Pega is going to name this window per the JavaScript function:
window.open("www.someURL.com", "THIS IS THE VARIABLE I NEED", "width=400, height=300")
I had assumed this would be the "Window Name" property under window properties but that does not appear to be the case.
Please and thanks :)

Figured it out. The Window Name field does not 1 to 1 match with the window.Name property in the HTML.
Apparently the window.Name property is equal to "'the sessionID' + '_' + 'Window Name field stripped of special chars' "

The window name field in the "Open URL in Window" configuration is actually not the html <title> tag. It is rather the window.name of html.
The window name field in the "Open URL in Window" configuration is actually not the html <title> tag. It is rather the window.name of html. Hence this field cannot be used to set the pop up window title.

What I need is the window.name property so I can reopen the window to get the reference and then close it via following JavaScript function:

I took screenshots of the two controls and the javascript in question. I even have it sending me alerts with the window.name so i can confirm nothing is changing... everything matches... is this a bug or am I doing a silly?
