Partial answer. That rid value you see is a sentinel value of 32 1's (binary)
4294967295 = 0b11111111111111111111111111111111
There might be some AJAX going on just before the new record form submits which supplies the newly created [Record ID#] value.
I don't have time to look at other aspects your post raises at this time.

- ZachCase7 years agoQrew TraineeSo I do already have the newly created [Record ID#] _at the point I do the _window.location.replace()_. Right before Quick Base redirects you, _<input type="hidden" name="rid" /> _updates it's value to the new entries _[Record ID#]._
Really my main question is, at this point, since the record has obviously been created at this point - because I have the _[Record ID#] _- would I be skipping a Quick Base process, other than its native redirect, by doing a manual _window.location.replace()_?
No worries if you don't have the time, I really appreciate your help today. I might try to by pass this issue by just making my own AJAX call to my code page and allowing Quick Base to do it's native redirect. - _anomDiebolt_7 years agoQrew EliteIf you are that deep into scripting I don't see any purpose in relying on QuickBase's redirect mechanism. Just control the whole process with script and you don't have to play guessing games or perform lots of experiments figuring out what these hidden parameters do on the back end.
There are a lot of remnants of techniques that might have been cutting edge in 2000 that are still in the code base. I can't image who would use a sentinel value today for just about anything. Redirect parameters? XML not JSON? The list is long.
