Good news, everyone! We fixed the issue where PDF files in attachment blocks wouldn't open in a new tab automatically for previewing. Please have a look at your PDF files in attachment blocks, and let us know if you run into any further issues!

We've shared this with our team, and we'll keep this thread posted on any updates that can help!
