Dynamic Form Rules are called that because they only work while a human user is editing the record on the native UI.  If you make a formula URL button, then those are ignored.

    Just another thought,  the button can have an IF statement to open up the record in edit mode, if those field are not filled in.  If you make the button as a Rich Text Hyperlink, then it's works could change based on the situation.
