You could use an API "button" in place of the URL.

Basically when clicked call the edit record API to check the box, then present the URL (new tab, pop-up, etc).

The thing is, I don't want the EOTI role to be able to edit the record.

I've tried implementing a Faux Key field ID using the Power of One trick but knowing the Max Record ID of the table doesnt help when multiple people can submit at the same time.

    @G.Macri G.Macri you mentioned using JS to solve this... can you put it on a code page and use the link to call the code page before displaying the TOS?​

    Basically, pass the TOS URL to the code page and after processing the 'log' that you want, redirect to the TOS.
