URL Add Record then Save
I need an URL to allow me to Add a record, then save it, and then allow me to edit it. When hitting the add record button it creates a form filled out but the users need to add a document then hit a ...

Yes, Mike makes a good point.
The button doesn't do anything at all unless the record has been what we call "dirtied". That means Some field has changed. What I do to prevent that behavious is in a hidden admin section I have two fields. One field is just a numeric data entry field and the other field there's a formula that takes that data entry field plus one. Then I have a Forum rule that says whenever those two are not the same then change the data entry field to the value in the formula field. That ensures that as soon as the record is open it gets dirty and my special save button will work.

I previously had a URL formula field that was simple (below). It's not supported any longer. The link I have for EOTI submit concerns in my app has &ifv=1 at the end so it doesn't look like QB, just a webpage but that also removes the native Save button. So I had the custom Save button added to the submittal form.
"javascript:void(DoSaveAdd())>Submit</a>"

------------------------------An explanation in response to your comment about being sure to change something in the record. The Everyone On The Internet user is adding a new record, so I'm not sure that qualifies for changing something in the record.
