Utilizing a different form when clicking the "Add Record" button

I'm looking to have a user utilize a different form to add a record to a table depending on which table they are adding the record from. I assume this can be done via some sort of URL Report field ...

Chris,

That is it.  Change the field type.


// Images
var text IMGLock  =     "<img src=https://images.quickbase.com/si/48/045-lock.png>"; 

// URL
var text URLGenAdd=
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PERIPHERALS] &
"?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_15=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#]) &
"&dfid=11" & "&z=" & Rurl();

// UI
 "<a href=" & $URLGenAdd & "' title=\"Click Me\">"  & $IMGLock &  "</a>"

Chris,

By the way, change the image at the top to something that makes sense for your user base.  I use that lock as default for status changes to records.   It is probably nonsensical for your business case.
