You can use the sample code from "InBasket.html"

case "project":
                    var acwFormNd = aras.getFormForDisplay("Activity Completion Worksheet", "by-name", false);
                    if (acwFormNd && acwFormNd.node) {
                        var w = parseInt(aras.getItemProperty(acwFormNd.node, "width"));
                        var h = parseInt(aras.getItemProperty(acwFormNd.node, "height"));
                    }
                    //Open Activity Completion Form
                    params = [window, grid.getUserData(rowID, "activityID")];
                    params.aras = aras;
                    params.resultHandler = populateActivityGrid;
                    params.dialogHeight = h ? h +  20/*statusbar*/ + 31 /*toolbar*/ + 28 /*title bar*/ + 25 /*safe-interval between form and relationships*/ : 600;
                    params.dialogWidth = w || 700;
                    params.resizable = true;
                    params.content = "../Solutions/Project/scripts/ActivityCompletionWorksheet/ACWDialog.html";

                    var actNd = aras.getItemById("Activity2", params[1], 0);
                    if (actNd) {
                        var dialog = window.parent.parent.ArasModules.Dialog.show("iframe", params);
                    }
                    break;

    Hi Trach, thanks for the response.

    This seems like it would work for opening the form in a new dialog/popup window. Does something similar exist for just opening it as a tab like normal (the equivalent of uiShowItemEx) rather than a popup?

      Hi Chris/Trach,

      Any update on this thread? I have a similar requirement. I need to open a custom form in a new tab instead of a new dialog. Can you please update the thread if you have any inputs or new findings?
