How to create a save button to save a new record and then redirect to outside URL

I am wanting to replace the default green "Save" button with a button that will save the new record and then redirect the user to a URL outside QB. I'm sure this is not that difficult, but I am stumped.

    Hi Robert, I am also interested in this solution, as we use it for our mobile app, at this point we haven't gotten it right yet, but will keep you posted.
    Hi Paul!

    I found this on the QB Exchange (Magic Buttons) and it works perfectly for what I'm wanting to do.


    "<a  class='Vibrant Success' href='javascript:LinkAway(\"" & "https://www.destinationswebpage.com"; & "\");' >Submit & redirect</a>"


    // This works because you have turned on the table's advance settings, "Save parent record automatically when a child record is created."
    // This also is borrowing the LinkAway that gets automatically added for formula url fields.  We are invoking it here so when we are directed to the success.html page the record is first saved.

    See this demo which (1) submits the form using  fetch API and FormData and (2) redirects to the FormData info page at MDN:
