Question

Button to save and stay in EDITING record form

I have a form in master Invoices table, which has an embedded Cost Of Materials details table. Cost of Materials is in Grid Edit format on the form, so one can add items quickly. Cost of Materials is only calculated when form is saved.

I would like to have a button for saving changes and returning to editing current Invoice (NOT view/display). If that is possible, I would be very grateful for your help.

Kind regards,

Arkady

You can make your own button to Save, and make your own button to Edit.  But I don't recall ever seeing a simple solution to string them together.   If you search this site for

Save and continue

You will see the same question being asked in the past.

Mark,

Thank you for responding. After searching everything, the answer that seems to work is:
https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bgcwm2m4g?a=dr&rid=339

However, I think Save text on the button should be replaced with an Update. Also, it seems to mess up return path, so after you completed editing and click Save at the top right of the screen, you stay in current record. It seems that I need to create another button to return to Mast record.

Let me know if you have any thoughts/comments.

Kind regards,

Arkady
PS: like the mountain view behind you. Makes me think of skiing, which I am looking forward to in January.
    You would need to contact Dan Diebolt for questions on his magic.  Yes, it's time to start thinking about skiing.  I quite agree.

    Arkady, thank you SO SO SO much for finding this info.  This seems to be the button I've been looking for.  And thanks, Dan Diebolt, too.  This allows editing a child in grid-edit while on the parent form and staying put on that form!  BTW, I was able to just change the button name within the coding from "Save & Edit" to "Save & Continue".  I'm not quite sure how to comply with the copyright other than putting a text note at the bottom of my form.  If you know of something else, I'd appreciate knowing.  Thanks again!
    Try this code in a formula text button:



    "<a class='Vibrant Success' onclick=$('#RedirectURL').val(document.location.href.replace(/&rl=[a-z0-9]*/,''));$('[name=rl]').val('');$('#saveButton').trigger('click'); href='#'>Update & Keep Working</a>
