The most simple solution is to only show that button in view mode and not edit mode.  Is that an option for your workflow?

    Unfortunately NO:(

    But I'm thinking to change the field to formula - Rich text

    Referred this page: https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/configure_url_fields.html

    Relevant section from the documentation:

    Use the CSS class (SaveBeforeNavigating) inside of a formula-rich text field and Quickbase will save the record before navigating.
    Note: Only one of these workflow classes is supported per formula-rich text.
    Here’s an example of a formula-rich text field that uses this feature:

    <a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true href='https://community.quickbase.com/db/abc?a=dr&rid=%%rid%%'>Click here</a>

      Yes, then you will need to use the SaveBeforeNavigating syntax.

        Hi Mark,
        I used the syntax but still I receive the same pop up message. Do you think this formula looks right?
        If(
        (not IsNull([Project record ID#])and [Sign Off Status]="1. Draft"),
        "<a class='Vibrant Success SaveBeforeNavigating' & href='" & [Endorsement Bypass] & "' target='_blank'>Endorsement Bypass</a>")

      Hi! I'm totally a novice, and am looking at things to do with buttons all the time, so I came across your post.

      in the Advanced settings on your table, there's a checkbox for "Auto save when redirected away from the page" - if you check that - you shouldn't get that popup.

      Let me know if that works or if I'm way off :) Thanks, and I hope it works!
