Re: API_AddRecord and land the user in edit mode.

This was the code when I was just trying to get it to work in the same table (this said no record found, and doesnt even perform the add record):

var text RID = "%%rid%%";

var text AddRecord = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=nwr";
var text EditRecord = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" ;

var text URL =
$AddRecord
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditRecord) & $RID;


"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #030404; font-size: 12px \"href='"
& $URL
& "'>TestAdd</a>"

This was the code when trying to use Add Record API in the child table (this adds the record, but has a blank still for RID. I am not sure how I saw before it take the parent record ID):

var text RID = "%%rid%%";

var text AddRecord =
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_SAFETY_ATTENDEES] & "?act=API_AddRecord"
& "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
& "&_fid_11=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]);

var text EditRecord = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_SAFETY_ATTENDEES] & "?a=er&rid=" ;

var text URL =
$AddRecord
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditRecord) & $RID;


"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #030404; font-size: 12px \"href='"
& $URL
& "'>TestAdd</a>"

Yes. Interestingly, still no luck. I am wondering if I need GenRecordAdd form. But either way, if I use NextURL it defeats the purpose, because the goal is the user doesnt stop on add record. The goal is the record is quickly added in the background, and then the user lands in edit mode on the record. To the user, they are adding a record, they just dont realize the Record ID now already exists.
