Flip around the display record. You do not display it first, the API can edit the record and you can display it after

rewrite the formula completing your api edit record first. After that put an & next line should be
"&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_JOBS] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Maximum Related Job]);

You complete the action and use the rdr to navigate after that.

Thanks for the response Ivan. The formula still seems to not be working

Here is the updated formula:

URLRoot() & "db/" & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" & "&_fid_1146=1" & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_JOBS] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Maximum Related Job])

I get this error when I test

<qdbapi>

<action>API_EditRecord</action>

<errcode>102</errcode>

<errtext>

Invalid request - we cannot understand the URL you specified.

</errtext>

</qdbapi>

  The first line of the formula is missing telling the AP:I which record to edit. Perhaps you want this
  
  URLRoot() & "db/" & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
  & "&_fid_1146=1"
  & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_JOBS] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Maximum Related Job])
