Allow users to save and close a form on another page without leaving current form?

I have a form where the users fill in some info, then click a button called 'add dispatch'. currently, the button takes them to another table where they must use the green save and close button, ...

It still takes me to the Dispatches Table where I must click 'Save & Close' (once I do this I'm returned to the parent record though). Is there a way to do this without the user even leaving the parent record?

  Are you asking if you can have a separate little pop up window to add the dispatch and then that pop up would close when you save the dispatch?
  
  if so, the answer is "no", it would be nice to have that functionality, but we do not have that functionality at this time. You would need to put tat into a UserVoice suggestion.

    No, we shouldn't even need a pop-up.
    
    Basically, the question is: Can the 'Save & Close' button function on the dispatches table be built into this 'Add Dispatch' button, so the user isn't being taken to another form to have to click 'Save & Close' before being returned? Essentially, making a 2 click process 1 click?
