Run browser_mod.javascript only on device from trigger

[Rijswijker]

My Home Assistant version: 2023.12

What I am doing: I share a dashboard on multiple NSPanels containing the Home Assistan companion app. On it, I have hidden the title bar and want to return to the previous page (read subview) using a button in my grid layout.

Now I use a call-service action with the service browser_mod.javascript with the code history.back() This in itself works well, only the action is performed on all NSPanels with the corresponding dashboard. Instead of only on the device where I press the back button.

I have tried, for example, having the device_id filled in dynamically by using BrowserID, self, SELF, this or THIS, but all without the desired result. Leaving the target section away is also no option.

show_name: true
show_icon: true
type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: browser_mod.javascript
  target:
    device_id:
      - SELF
  data:
    code: history.back()
icon: mdi:arrow-left-bold
hold_action:
  action: none

If I enter the real device_id then it does only respond to the corresponding panel, but since I now have to create all dashboards 6 times, it is nicer to be able to share dashboards so that I no longer have repetitive work, and differences in dashboards.

Is there a way to do this?

What I expected to happen: That only the browser on which the action is being triggered responds and not all browsers.

What happened instead: See description

Minimal steps to reproduce: Open two browsers with the same dashboard and preform a javascript service call with history.back() as code.

Error messages from the browser console:

No errors

Any luck? I'm trying to build an automation whereby an NFC tag is scanned and then that user gets a browsermod navigation to the chore logging page. But you can guess the issue, maybe. How do I get browsermod to only operate for that user!

Unfortunately no, I still have to maintain 6 dashboards. 😢
