New version closes the item

That´s normal behavior. After versioning you have to open the new item with a separate call. 

Hello thank you do you know what call that is how can I do that 

aras.uiShowItem . You sure will find some samples in this forum.

  Item myThis = this.apply("version");

This is what i use for versioning and is server method on lifecycle

how and where can i use the call you have sent as it seems like a client one

Yes my sample was the client version cause you never mentioned what you use :D.

Try to provide more details when you ask questions! When you just ask your question in one sentence without code sample or further explanation it´s very hard for other users to understand what you try to do.

For server Method it should be enough when you return your versioned item

--> return myThis;

But I am not sure if this one will work inside the lifecycle.

Did you found any solution for this? I am also facing same issue.

Well, it still works perfectly fine for me. But without more details regarding your or the original authors use case, it´s impossible to answer this question.
