Shouldn’t you be using a Show Detail Screen or Show New Screen action? Open Link is always going to open a new page externally. I don’t recommend ever using Open Link to navigate within the app. There’s better ways to navigate and stay within the app. ---

What this is about is that I am not useing Open Link. I am using Show New Screen. BUT It is opeing a link, the link being opened is the current page with a [#] at the end of it. I do not know why it is doing this is should be going to Show New Screen. ---

Maybe I need to see how the action is configured. ---

Are you sure that is the correct action? There is no Show New Screen step in that action. Just as an aside, the Wait for condition step looks a bit pointless, because nothing comes after it.
