Hello Sharon,

 I am getting the below message.
The only difference was that instead of going to a Child record I wanted to stay (go to) the parent record just added.

@Gabe Figueroa Are you using a different key field from the record ID?

Try running a sample url through your browser, such as (https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/parent_dbid?a=API_addrecord​)

You'll see something like this:
The "get inner HTML" for the 'rid' is referring to the <rid>X</rid>, so if you don't see that it could be the issue.
You may also need to add an apptoken if your app requires them.

    Thank you, the issue was the apptoken. Honestly that had crossed my mind earlier but got distracted.

    The function works but it is adding a blank record &redirecting me to that record and not the one I intended.
    If I were to subtract 1 from the myrid then I would land on the record desired but the blank records would still get created.

      @Gabe Figueroa can you provide more details/steps on the workflow you're looking to achieve and where it will be initiated from?

        The user will be on a new Add record.
        The new Add record form will have a dropdown of Solicitation records from another application whose data is maintained by another team.
        Once they select the Solicitation then if they could save the record & stay there that would be great.

        The reason to stay on the newly added record (in Edit now) is so that they can start selecting as many or as few
        transportation companies as required due to how large or small the Solicitation is.
