sure thing, this is my code

var text Declined = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=dghxdxrc9kgh4qbn746c7dje9wds&rid="&[Record ID#]&"&_fid_6=Declined";

"javascript:{"&
"fetch('"& $declined &"');"&
"location.reload('"& $Declined &"');"&
"}"

  Try this. The only issue will be where you want to land the user after the record is saved.
  
  var text Declined = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=dghxdxrc9kgh4qbn746c7dje9wds&rid="&[Record ID#]&"&_fid_6=Declined";
  
  var text EditMode = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#];
  
  $Declined
  & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditMode)
