Re: New functionaility %%rid%%

Make sure you make an edit on the add record, then press the button. Otherwise, it will not work. This has tripped me up twice now...

Just posting some code that worked. The goal was to add a record and return the user to the added record in Edit mode.

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

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

var text URL =
$AddShipment
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditShipment) & $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
& "'>Save and Display in Edit Mode</a>"

NOTE: The %%RID%% does not seem to like being URLEncoded.

The use case might be to land the user on a saved record so that the Report Link fields would immediately populate.

  Thanks Mark. I bet that my original issue was that it was, in the end, URL Endcoded. I thought it wasn't because it wasn't URLEncoded in my variable, but looking back I see it ended up inside a URLEncode anyways...!
