Can you create a save button with an API call?

I have put together the following api call URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_ACTIVITY_LOG] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_11=" & "Tasked to Team Member:        " & URLEncode ([Description]) & "&_fid_50="...

Regardless of the AddRecord or AddGenRecordForm (which your examples shows AddGenRecordForm),

You will want to use the 'LinkAway' function in a formula text field, like so:

"<a  class='Vibrant Success' href='javascript:LinkAway(\""&[URL Formula]&"\");'>Submit and redirect</a>"

// This works because you have turned on the table's advance settings, "Save parent record automatically when a child record is created."
// This also is borrowing the LinkAway that gets automatically added for formula url fields.  We are invoking it here so when we are directed to the success.html page the record is first saved.

Keep the formula URL field that you have from above (you know if already works), but insert that field into the formula I pasted, replacing [URL Formula].

Then on the table A's advanced settings there is a checkbox:


Make sure that is checked, then the new formula text field will (1) Save the current record and (2) go to your new Form.
