Can you post the code for your button and then I will add the extra code to land the user in edit mode?

    Try this. The only issue will be where you want to land the user after the record is saved. 

    var text Declined = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=dghxdxrc9kgh4qbn746c7dje9wds&rid="&[Record ID#]&"&_fid_6=Declined";

    var text EditMode = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#];

    $Declined
    & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditMode)
