Utilize API_Add Record Response values
Does anyone know how to get the API Response information to be able to utilize it in a redirect? I have a button where I 'replace' a part, I want to show the new part after the API_Add Record call. ...
Forum Discussion
When the button is clicked, everything after var text url = is sent to the Quickbase server.
To do what you are trying to do would require a Code page with javaScript that would run in the browser and handle the response.
1. change button to call code page
2. use https://resources.quickbase.com/db/bq8kmgrcq/72b77352-3b9d-495e-932f-1cd9f1b15fa3 to write the code page.
I am working on something like this now. If I can figure out a simple proof of concept, I'll put up a post.

This syntax works to use the RID of the newly created record. See if you can adapt it to your needs.
var text RID = "%%rid%%";
var text AddShipment = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=nwr";
var text EditShipment = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" ;
var text URL =
$AddShipment
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditShipment) & $RID;
"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #030404; font-size: 12px \"href='"
& $URL
& "'>Save and Display in Edit Mode</a>"
NOTE: The %%RID%% does not seem to like being URLEncoded.
The user would need to push this button (Rich Text formula field type) to save the record, not the regular save button.
If you can lanch off a buton that suffixed the URL with
&ivf=1,
that would suppress the native save buttons forcing the user to use this special button.
