I'll do my best to describe this one.

You will need to make a Formula URL field with the following formula.

"javascript:var a=window.open(\""&[Master URL]&"\", \"newwindow\",\"width=600,height=500\"); setInterval(function() {if (a.closed) {window.location.reload();}},500);"

This will open the [Master URL] that you define in a new small window, and when the window is closed it will refresh the original page.

So you will want your [Master URL] to have the API_EditRecord function and the rdr that will be used in the pop-up.

I'd recommend that for the RDR you have it go to a simplified form where it only has the needed field you are looking for. 

You can copy the original form, and strip out the unneeded fields.
