We have built a custom Save/Create button that will SaveBeforeNavigating and direct the EU to a GenAddRecordForm. It works PERFECTLY in the standard native form this button lives on. If we try to acc...

Hi Chayce,
The issue is that the button won't do the passive save if clicked from an ifv=1 form.
If I click the button on the native form, it works as intended.
When we click on the button on the same form but with ifv=1, it pops up with the "You must save this Login first" as shown in the original post.

Can you copy the formula for that button here? I tried testing what I assumed was your scenario using both the API_GenAddRecordForm and nwr URL patterns, both with no issue when using SaveBeforeNavigating and it operating as intended with ifv=1.
From your screenshot - can you just confirm that when you're testing this you're actually changing something on the record? Like actually entering/changing at least one field? If you're not entering any data and then clicking the button - the behavior might be a little odd since it's not registering potentially that there is anything to save.

Yeah, I was adding an email address (it's required to get the button to show) but then i was blanking it out in the screenshot bc habits lol.
Here is the formula:
var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_Landing_Pages] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&dfid=12&_fid_6=" & URLEncode ([Related Person])& "&z=" & Rurl();
"<a class='"&[GV_AppButtonClass]&" SaveBeforeNavigating' style='color: white; display:inline-block; white-space:nowrap; background: #b532b5; border:1px solid #999; text-align:center; text-decoration:none' href=\"" &
$url
& "\""
& ">Create New Report/Request</a>"And again, it's weird, because it works just fine when not in the ifv. I may be able to do a screengrab of the behavior - showing it works in regular, but not in ifv.

------------------------------I would suggest a screengrab and potentially pass that to QB support. I can't tell from your screenshot what browser you're using if that might be causing an issue or if it's something to do with the data being entered/triggering the save. When testing on Chrome I'm not getting the same issue but QB support might be able to see something I don't with access unless someone else from the forum chimes in.

------------------------------Thanks, I'm gonna open a ticket. Here's the screengrab in case you wanna take a peak and see anything i don't.... :-)
Also - the browser i'm using is Arc (Chrome-based) and my teammate is using Opera, and it's doing the same thing on both.
