Is the ‘Selected Tab’ of your tab strip bound (bidirectionally?) to the `[System]Client/CurrentWindow` tag? (That path may not be exactly right, but that’s the gist.)

I am not using a tag for this one… I am using Swap window option for this one… From tab strip dataset i am getting the corresponding window name and i have enabled swap window option. This working fine but when i update i am not redirecting to correct window

We need to use tag to work properly?

Leave swap window as is and bidirectionally bind the tag too. It should function as it does for you now, except the binding will ensure it stays in sync.
