There is a data-replaceRID component that you can place for new ones that QB will interpret and land you on the newly created record. This is an example of rich-text field using this:

var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=%%rid%%";

var text link = "<a href='" & $url & "' data-replaceRid='true' style='font-size: 11pt;margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 0px; height: 33px; width: 160px; text-align:center;background-color:#13294d;color:white;background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #13294d 0%, #13294d 100%);' class='SaveBeforeNavigating Vibrant'>Save and Continue</a>";

$link

The two components are rid=%%rid%% in the url and then the data-replaceRID param in the button itself.

Hello,

I would like to add a save and keep working button in the middle of my form. This would be used for new records that have yet to be saved before. Is that possible and how can I do it? I can get it to work for existing records but not new ones that haven't been saved yet.

Hi Chayce, thanks for the solution. If going further, is it possible to edit the new record within the URL? I tried the following, but got the error message "Missing "rid" parameter"
"URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=%%rid%%"
&"&_fid_20="&URLEncode("Yes");
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

  Hongkunliang,
  Are you sure you were attempting this during an add record, and not during an edit record when the record was already saved? I think the %%rid%% may only work during the add record.Below will account for both scenarios.
  var text RID = If([Record ID#]>0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%rid%%");
  "URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & $RID
  &"&_fid_20="&URLEncode("Yes");

    Hi Mike, thanks for the response. what I am struggling with is how to redirect to the newly created record. Somehow the $RID failed when URLEncoded in the redirect.
