EOTI SAVE BUTTON
For the love of all things holy and before I throw my PC out the window....
I FINALLY got a button to add a new record to a child table with the prepopulated fields I need. Code is
"<a href='" &...

Mark,
No. So, they enter some basic info in the parent record and then click a Add Items button which takes them to the first record to enter in the child table. this button is the one Quickbase creates when you make the parent/child relationship link.It works perfectly. It creates the first child record and displays the correct Record Id, Order Number and Name. In this situation, the Record ID is the reference proxy and the Order Number and Name are lookup fields. It is here that my older users are having an issue. It is creating the second child record that is the problem. They can't figure out the drop down save button that is the native UI.

Qrew LegendRhonda,
I'm still confused about the workflow. They launch off a Parent record and land on add Add Child form. So then is the issue that you want to provide a button on the Child record (still in Add Mode) which will auto save that unsaved child and land the user on a new Add Child form again?

Rhonda, I think what you're asking for is what I thought you were asking for. The user is sitting on an unsaved record and do you want a button that will save the record without any annoying pop-ups and carry on with the rest of the URL.
var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/btcpg7sph?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&dfid=2" &
"&_fid_18=" & URLEncode([Related Request]) &
"&_fid_20=" & URLEncode([Request - Order Number]) &
"&_fid_19=" & URLEncode([Request - Name]);"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #1ba802; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #1ba802; font-size: 12px \"href='"& $URL& "'>Add Child</a>"That code above should save the unsaved record and then put up an add form with some fields pre- populated.
