Ignition Perspective is not allowing to view multiple popups on single view/session. Is there any setting which will change this behavior. ? I tried both script and popup actions from a Button click. ---

Yes, it allow. Do you want to open two popup from the same one button? Click once or twice? Here is an action settings named **Background dismissible** , did you enable it? (default is disable). ---

2 buttons and each opens one Popup. Click on Button1 -\> Open Popup -\> Keep it aside, -\> click on Button2 -\> Open Popup2. Background dismissible is closing the active popup on clicking anywhere outside. ---

I tested just now, there must be something missed, could you show images for your config. ---

The Id you assign when you open the popup must be unique, otherwise, it will only allow a single instance. There are several posts that discuss this, [https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=perspective%20multiple%20popup](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=perspective%20multiple%20popup) ---

~~If your Popups share the same ID, then opening a second will close the first.~~ (edit: completely untrue) Also, if you have the Popup configured to be background dismissible - and you then click in the background - then you're dismissing the first popup. ---

Perhaps you copied the button and not rename the ID. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/2/6276e7878fa98f6491fde1e7c748393181719676.png)
