Is it possible to create a ""Save and Keep Working"" button from a formula URL field?

I realize the "Save and Keep Working" button was introduced by Quickbase, but I am wanting to add it somewhere in the middle of my form. I've seen posts relating to this kind of thing, but all of them...

Try this in a Formula Rich Text

var text urlone = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_TABLE_1] & "?a=dr&dfid=2&rid=" & URLEncode([Route ID#]);

"<a href="& $urlone &"><img width=\"100\"src=\"<i><u>Link your button image here</u></i>\"></a>";

    Hi Chad,

    Thanks for your response. I just tried this and perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but this is saving the record, but then opening the form in view mode; as opposed to saving and reopening edit mode. Any thoughts?

    a=dr

    to

    a=er

    I tried this as well, but now I'm noticing that regardless of whether it is dr or er, it doesn't save any of the data entered into the form prior to pressing the button. All it is doing is reopening the form in either view or edit mode, as opposed to saving and reopening the edit form.

    My code is as follows:

    var text urlone = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_GAMES] & "?a=er&dfid=2&rid=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]);

    "<a href="& $urlone &"><img width=\"100\"src=\"<i><u>https://cdn.maxbuttons.com/wp-content/themes/maxbuttons-theme/images/icons/basic-buttons-pack.png<...;
