Current URL Display without JavaScript

Question

Hello!I am trying to figure out a way to capture the URL of an open form when a record is opened in Edit Mode.&nbsp; I need to run numeric calculations differently when a record is in Edit Mode vs. View Mode and thus need a signal to verify which state the form is in.&nbsp; My idea was to capture the URL and use Text functions to identify if the URL contained the "er" vs. "dr" as a signifier of which mode the form was in.&nbsp; Most of what I could find uses JavaScript.&nbsp; Is there a way to do it without JavaScript?&nbsp; I suppose all I need is the URL displayed in a text format, like pictured below.Thank you!&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;I do not know of a way to do what you're asking but I wonder if you can get there with form rules. For example on legacy forms there is a form rule&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the record is opened.&nbsp;Action:Set a checkbox called [In Edit Mode?] to checked.&nbsp;&nbsp;You could have another rule based on&nbsp;When the record is savedAction:Change the [In Edit Mode?] to Unchecked.

Thanks Mark, my solution ended up using the When The Record is Saved feature.&nbsp; When the record is saved, it copied the numeric value in question to a secondary static field.&nbsp; Then, when the record is opened and the numeric value changes, I can flag it and do the background calculation.&nbsp;
