Chayce, have you implemented a button like this since this post? I'm trying to do the same thing, add the return to location functionality to this button: https://resources.quickbase.com/db/bq8meiyhh?a=dr&key=-1

That button is currently working for me as is, expect the code page claims it's supposed to be in a Formula - URL field, when in fact it's supposed to be a Formula - Rich Text field. Shoutout to Lisa Sell for figuring that out!

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
