    There is a data-replaceRID component that you can place for new ones that QB will interpret and land you on the newly created record. This is an example of rich-text field using this: 

    var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=%%rid%%";


    var text link = "<a href='" & $url & "' data-replaceRid='true' style='font-size: 11pt;margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 0px; height: 33px; width: 160px; text-align:center;background-color:#13294d;color:white;background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #13294d 0%, #13294d 100%);' class='SaveBeforeNavigating Vibrant'>Save and Continue</a>";

    $link

    The two components are rid=%%rid%% in the url and then the data-replaceRID param in the button itself.

Hongkunliang,

Are you sure you were attempting this during an add record, and not during an edit record when the record was already saved? I think the %%rid%% may only work during the add record.Below will account for both scenarios.

var text RID = If([Record ID#]>0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%rid%%");

"URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & $RID

&"&_fid_20="&URLEncode("Yes");

Hi Mike, thanks for the response.  what I am struggling with is how to redirect to the newly created record.  Somehow the $RID failed when URLEncoded in the redirect.
