JS code in the URL formula field

Question

Hey,There are several URL formula fields in my application. They were created a couple of weeks ago and work great.Today I was surprised that QuickBase no longer allows me to edit them.How to solve this problem?------------------------------Andrew S------------------------------

By replacing the JavaScript with something else or leaving it be and letting it work. They no longer support JavaScript unless it is in a code page. You can explore code pages or service workers for an alternative. Service workers would be the more powerful one that would be able to make some of the same changes as you do now.

For your exact formula here you are just making it reload the page which there is already a replacement for.

var Number XXX = If([Active], 0,1);var text URL = URLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; Dbid() &amp; "?act=API_EditRecord&amp;rid=" &amp; [Record ID#]&amp; "&amp;apptoken=d7f7g4xdisdv7fdgjvh95d4d3xzc"&amp; "&amp;_fid_99=" &amp; $XXX;"javascript:" &amp;"$.get('" &amp;$URL &amp;"',function(){" &amp;"location.reload(true);" &amp;"});" &amp; "void(0);"------------------------------Andrew S------------------------------

Thanks Mark, it works fine. Is it any way to redirect and scroll down to the record that was modified?------------------------------Andrew S------------------------------
