3758515 - Popup.setsize in stories works in full viewer but errors in lite viewer

• Inconsistent behavior when using the Popup object and its setSize() method in stories.
• In full viewer, the popup resizes correctly.
• In lite viewer, the same script raises an error.

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Run a story script that uses Popup and Popup.setSize() in full viewer.
2. Observe that the popup resizes correctly.
3. Run the same story and script in lite viewer.
4. Observe that an error occurs and the popup does not resize.

Lite viewer does not support the Popup API (including setSize()), which leads to errors when the script runs in lite viewer.

1. Use full viewer to run stories that rely on the Popup API (including setSize()), as lite viewer does not support this API.
2. To open the story directly in full viewer as a workaround, turn on the “Data change insight” toggle for the story.
