------------------------------- I believe so. This is the formula i have for the button:
var text bgcolor = "#79c043";
var text txtcolor = "white";
var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 20px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-align: center; text-shadow: none;";
var text url =
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_editRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
"&apptoken=TOKEN" &
"&_fid_49=" & URLEncode("Appointment Approved")
& "&rdr="&URLEncode("QuickBase CRM URL");
Field ID 49 is the status field
