Is there a way to add a button that will edit a record with "pre-planned" data?  Looking for a quick approval system for an app I created for employee overtime requests.  This button would be only accessible to the app admin(s) and would generally set a Text multi select field to "yes", User List to the approver, and add a brief description of "Approved" to a multi-line text field.  

Any help is appreciated.

Yes. Buttons like this require some understanding of the QuickBase API, and once you have that so many doors will be open to you!

Also, check out an application in the marketplace called Magic Buttons. It's basically a bunch of sample buttons that you can copy code from to get the framework for what you want to do.  I think all you'll need to do is a few EditRecord calls and you'll be set. Note that in that app, the builder gives examples for both Text and URL versions, but I don't believe the Text versions are supported anymore, so you'll have to use the URL versions. Give that a go and let me know if you're having any difficulty.
