  • 1.  Save and Close functionality

    Posted 02-24-2020 12:25
    I am having consistency issues with the save and close button and have questions about how it works exactly. Sometimes when pressed it will go to the parent table and display all records, other times it will display the record I was just editing/adding in view mode. This will happen even if I click "edit" from the parent table and click save and close.

    I can't seem to find any consistency to reproduce one result or the other. How does the button determine where I am redirected to?

    Ideally every time one of our users clicks save and close they would be redirected to the table so they can view all records and add a new one if desired. They have no need to view a record they were just editing.

    The "consistency" issue is that it depends where you launch from as to where you go back to.  When you look at he URL code for the Add Child button, there is a last line like this

    & "&z=" & Rurl()

    That says "Return to the URL that you came from, be that a Parent record or a report.

    If you launch off the dashboard, however, then the dashboard button setting configures where you go back to.  If.  So =with explanation, let me know if you can determine where the launch point was for the Add Child button that caused you to land in an expected place when saving and we can probably control it.
