If the dispatcher doesn't need to add any other information to the form in the process of creating the record, you may have better luck with API_AddRecord instead of GenAddRecordForm. They work similarly, but AddRecord will just add a record to the table without going through the process of using the form.
Additionally, I don't believe that GenAddRecordForm can use "rdr" to do a subsequent API call, but AddRecord can. Here's a little more info about that: https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/using-z-rurl-and-rdr-in-formula-url-fields
If you do need to add more information to the form while it's being created, you could try to put the checkbox API call first, and have it rdr to the GenAddRecordForm call. Not 100% sure if that would work, but may be something to try.
