Annette,

Please report this problem by opening a case with to Quickbase Support. They have already escalated two variants of the problem to the product team, and need to hear from every impacted user so that they can get the right details escalated Specifically, at least these two are on their list:

- using %%rid%% in a custom rich-text button on a new-style form

- using &NextURL= to return from a ?a=API_GenAddRecordForm

There might be others.

One or more of the following might help:

- force a return to view mode by using "&aftersaveview=1" (which is specifically for returnURLs for new-style forms)

- try another undocumented new feature "&aftersaveurl="

- don't use a custom rich-text button. instead use a plain vanilla formula-URL button with "&z=" & Rurl()

Annetta, sorry, one more comment and one clarification:

- A custom rich-text button that pops up a new window and then, when the pop-up closed, updates the original record, does not work if the original is a new-style form. This one has been escalated.

- The problem with &NextURL may be sporadic or may depend on some other factors. I do not know whether it has been escalated.
