Hi Mike!

I just did this myself :-)

Interestingly as soon as I added the height & width it opened in a new window vs a new tab.

In a Formula - Rich Text field:

var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#];

"<a class='Vibrant Success' onclick=\"window.open('" & $URL & "','Edit','width=800,height=700')\">Edit Record</a>"


Let me know if this works for you šŸ˜Š šŸ‘

    @Sharon Faust (QuickBaseJunkie.com) I'd be careful with that particular configuration. Onclick is a Javascript call, and those will be getting scrubbed over time. That said, you can do a very similar thing like so:

    ā€‹ 
    var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#];

"<a class='Vibrant Success' href='" & $URL & "' target='_blank'>Edit Record</a>"ā€‹


    That'll open in a new window, but you're not able to set the size from there.
