If you are using API_AddRecord and include the peramwter
&disprec=1
then it will display the record that it just created.
If you have any trouble with this post your whole formula

Thank you! Okay so this change took me to the home page of the app. How would i have it open the created record in edit mode or even just the add form with the field info passed through so the user can make changes before officially saving the record?
Here is my formula
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_INTAKE] & "?a=API_AddRecord"
//copy as is
& "&_fid_8=" & [Initiative Type]
& "&_fid_7=" & [Requesting Business Unit]
& "&_fid_117=" & [Initiative Name]
& "&_fid_743=" & [Simplified Description]
& "&_fid_16=" & [Problem Statement]
//Change Request? = Yes
& "&_fid_474=" & "Yes"
//copy as is
& "&_fid_116=" &
& "&_fid_359=" & [Arch Roadmap]
& "&_fid_11=" & [Channel(s) Impacted]
& "&_fid_12=" & [Product(s) Impacted]
& "&_fid_17=" & [Customer Experience(s)]
& "&_fid_18=" & [Employee Experience(s)]
& "&_fid_19=" & [Quantifiable Benefit Estimate]
& "&_fid_20=" & [Benefit Calculation]
& "&_fid_137=" & [Detailed Description]
//test record = Yes --remove after go live
& "&_fid_856=" & "Yes"
//redirect
& "&rdr=" &URLEncode( URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect=1" & Rurl())

- If you want to just land the user on an input form, use a different API
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_INTAKE] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm"
//copy as is
& "&_fid_8=" & [Initiative Type]
& "&_fid_7=" & [Requesting Business Unit]
& "&_fid_117=" & [Initiative Name]
& "&_fid_743=" & [Simplified Description]
& "&_fid_16=" & [Problem Statement]
//Change Request? = Yes
& "&_fid_474=" & "Yes"
//copy as is
& "&_fid_116=" &
& "&_fid_359=" & [Arch Roadmap]
& "&_fid_11=" & [Channel(s) Impacted]
& "&_fid_12=" & [Product(s) Impacted]
& "&_fid_17=" & [Customer Experience(s)]
& "&_fid_18=" & [Employee Experience(s)]
& "&_fid_19=" & [Quantifiable Benefit Estimate]
& "&_fid_20=" & [Benefit Calculation]
& "&_fid_137=" & [Detailed Description]
//test record = Yes --remove after go live
& "&_fid_856=" & "Yes"
