In Lightning: Record Edit modal box is not opening for first time [using $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");]

Question

I've created a lightning component in which a Case record will get create automatically(using force:recordData) from account and contact. Once the record gets created at the backend I need to redirect the page to newly created case and at the same time need to open edit pop up for same record. Actually I'm using this component in the lightning service console so facing 2 problems: 1. for the first time, on selection of case record type from account or contact a Case record is getting created but edit window is not opening. And if I select the record type again from different account or contact record edit window will popup. 2. As I'm using service console if I select the record type from account or contact case will get create and redirect to new tab in console. But trying to reset the component or value or want to refresh the particular account . or contact tab in the console so that I can select another record type and works the same way.

Use navigation api in combination with your workspace api.

Like this:

handleRecordTypeSelection: function (component, event, helper) {
    var recordTypeName = event.getSource().get("v.value");
    component.set("v.caseField.RecordTypeId", recordTypeName);
    component.find("caseRecordCreator").saveRecord(function (saveResult) {
        if (saveResult.state === "SUCCESS" || saveResult.state === "DRAFT") {
            var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
            workspaceAPI.openTab({
                recordId: saveResult.recordId, 
                focus: true
            }).then(function() {
                navigatorApi.navigate({
                    type: 'standard__recordPage',
                    attributes: {
                        recordId: saveResult.recordId,
                        actionName: 'edit'
                    }
                })
            })
        }
    })
}

Or Like this ;

workspaceAPI.openTab({
    recordId:  v,
    focus: true
 }).then(function() {
    var editRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:editRecord");
    editRecordEvent.setParams({
        "recordId": v
    });
    editRecordEvent.fire();
 })
