Create ""Save"" button that saves the record and then displays record in view mode

this code as a formula Rich text field will make an extra save button to put on your form.

"<a id='saveButton' class='Vibrant Success' onclick='DoSave()' href='#'>WhatEverYouWantYourButtonToSay</a>"

The colors can be controlled by the words. Ignore the formula, I'm just showing you the colors available.  But I think that the success which used to be green got turned into blue when we had the purple day rebranding at Quick Base a few months ago.



List("&nbsp;",
    "<a class='Vibrant'>Vibrant</a>", // regular grey button
    "<a class='Vibrant Alert'>Vibrant Alert</a>", // yellowish
    "<a class='Vibrant Danger'>Vibrant Danger</a>",  // red
    "<a class='Vibrant Primary'>Vibrant Primary</a>", // blue
    "<a class='Vibrant Snowy'>Vibrant Snowy</a>",  // white
    "<a class='Vibrant Success'>Vibrant Success</a>" // green

Thank you!  Works like a charm.  Now, what if I want to end up at the "view" mode of the record I just saved?

I don't understand. is the issue that you are landing back on a report after adding a record. Where are you landing that is a problem.  Where are you launching the Add Record from?

I am launching the "Add Record" from a Parent table (Properties) URL button to create the new child record "Work Order". 
In "Work Order, I have placed my new save button. 
When I click the new save button, I want to end up looking at the record that I just saved (rather than the Parent record from which it was created)

The fix is to change your ad child button. Can you post your code for at child and I�ll show you how to fix it.

Tarury, What you described is the default behavior of the add new record button that you see on the table home page. The URL behind it is db/<dbid>?a=nwr


This is designed to save the new record and then open it in view mode.

Are you launching off a parent record to add a child or are you launching off the dashboard?

I am not launching off the dashboard - it must be created from the parent record.
