Implementing the "_parent" target on a hyperlink formula field in Salesforce Lightning

I am trying to make a formula field that options the link in a sub tab in the lightning console application. The formula field that I am using is: HYPERLINK("lightning/r/Financial_Account__c/" & Id & "/view", Name&"/"&Record_Type_Name__c, "_parent")

Currently this formula field is opening in a new tab rather than displaying as a subtab. 

Please comment if you have any ideas on why the "_parent" is not functioning the way it should.

The Lightning Experience Honors Target Values for Hyperlinks in Formula Fields critical update ensures that the target value for hyperlinks is honored, whether it's explicitly configured or set by default. If you have enabled the critical update, you can keep the target page within Lightning navigation by adding a value of target="_self" to your formula field HYPERLINK functions. If you specify something other than target="_self", the link opens with standard browser navigation outside of Lightning Experience.
If you haven’t enabled the critical update, relative links open in a new tab regardless of the target value.
