URL on Home Page to add a new record and then view it in edit mode

Question

Hello,

I am trying to use a home page button that will add a new record and then open it in edit mode. How can this be done?

https://domainname.quickbase.com/db/brchmnxk7?a=API_AddRecord&rdr=https://domainname.quickbase.com.com/db/ brchmnxk7?a=er

I realize this is an incorrect url but it does perform the action of adding the record - and then it takes me to the document tree:

<action>API_AddRecord</action>

<errtext>No error</errtext>

<update_id>1620163249201</update_id>

</qdbapi>

Any suggestions?

Unless you get into JavaScript code pages, there is not a way to open in edit mode

The best you can do if this

https://domainname.quickbase.com/db/brchmnxk7?a=API_AddRecord&disprec=1

That suffix means and display record equals true, in other words add the record and then display it. But it will be displayed in view mode and not edit mode.
