Quick Base is best learned using native formulas and not APIs. APIs are more advanced and are likely not necessary for you to get a lot done.
If the record is not saving, then its either due to a form rule with an "Abort the Save Rule which would have been set on the form Rules - so in the form, or else a custom data validation rule which is set in the Advanced Properties for the table.
Your mission to create app quickly and easily with Quick Base is can definately be met by Quick Base and i would be happy to have a no charge conversation with you to show you some examples of what QuickBase can do.
