Try this approach as a Formula Rich Text field type

The code below work to add a record and then blend the user on the newly added record in edit mode.
var text RID = "%%rid%%";

var text AddShipment = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=nwr";
var text EditShipment = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" ;

var text URL =
$AddShipment
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($EditShipment) & $RID;

"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #030404; font-size: 12px \"href='"
& $URL
& "'>Save and Display in Edit Mode</a>"

NOTE: The %%RID%% does not seem to like being URLEncoded.

I appreciate the suggestion. I tried it out and it gives me the error that the Parent Record is Not found. Is that formula supposed to be used on the parent record to open and edit the child record?
