Qrew LegendI just replicated that bug and it does seem like a bug to me.
A work around is this syntax which will erdirdct on save to another URL - that being the parent that you launched from
var text ADD = URLRoot() & "db/xxxxxxxx?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_69=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])
& "&_fid_6=" & URLEncode([Request Title])
& "&_fid_10=Active";
var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" &[Record ID#];
$ADD
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($DisplayParent)

Thanks Mark. I'm not sure I understand what field ID's I use in the three fid spots in your programming, nor what the [Request Title] field represents?

- MarkShnier__YouI had just grabbed an actual working example from one of my apps and I was also populating some extra fields.
You can just do this if there are no extra fields to populate other that populating the field for Related Parent.
var text ADD = URLRoot() & "db/xxxxxxxx?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_69=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#]);
var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" &[Record ID#];
$ADD
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($DisplayParent)
In the example above, field ID 69 was the field for [Related Parent] on the child record.

------------------------------- Thanks!! I'm getting an error if I save or cancel, saying that the project not found. The redirect isn't working and I'm not sure why?
My code and error below. Please note my Primary key field is not record id, but project id
var text ADD = URLRoot() & "db/bpz68jg3u?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_59=" & URLEncode ([Project ID]);
var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" &[Project ID];
$ADD
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($DisplayParent)

------------------------------- MarkShnier__Youfor this code here
&rid=" &[Project ID];
either you need to use rid and then populate it with the [Record ID#] field
or else use
&key=" & [Project ID];
if the Key field is not the Record ID# field. Did you select a different field to be the Key field?
