Refresh parent record after child is created...

When adding child records via formula URL buttons on mobile, the child record count isn't updated unless the user manually refreshes the screen.  Is there a way to build the refresh into the Add Child Record button?

If you use the green plus button that comes with the embedded report on mobile then this isn't a problem.  However, if I have the user use that button, then I can't modify the formula URL.

    The code below will create a child record in the background (while populating two fields), then return to the current record in edit mode, followed by a refresh of the page. You'll just need to plug in your app specific values.

    var text URLONE = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CHILD_TABLE] &
    "?a=API_AddRecord" &
    "&_fid_6=FieldA" &
    "&_fid_7=07/28/2018" &
    "&_fid_8=" & [Record ID#];

    var text URLTWO = URLEncode( URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
    "?a=er&rid="& [Record ID#] );

    "javascript:" &
    "$.get('" & 
    $URLONE & "&rdr=" & $URLTWO &
    "',function(){" &
    "location.reload(true);" &
    "});"
