SaveBeforeNavigating with ifv=1 ??

Question

We have built a custom Save/Create button that will SaveBeforeNavigating and direct the EU to a GenAddRecordForm. It works PERFECTLY in the standard native form this button lives on. If we try to access the same form with ifv=1, ifv=0, ifv=10, etc., it tells us to Save the Login first.

We don't want the EU to access the native Save &amp; Close button. Does anyone know why it will work in the native form, but not the ifv version?------------------------------Danielle Wilczewski------------------------------

Can you expand a little more on your use case? I tested a similar Save & Continue button that uses SaveBeforeNavigating, but I didn't find any issues doing it when editing/saving updates to an existing record, and similarly no issues when adding/saving a record the first time.

Hi Chayce,
The issue is that the button won't do the passive save if clicked from an ifv=1 form.&nbsp;

If I click the button on the native form, it works as intended.

When we click on the button on the same form but with ifv=1, it pops up with the "You must save this Login first" as shown in the original post.

Can you copy the formula for that button here? I tried testing what I assumed was your scenario using both the API_GenAddRecordForm and nwr URL patterns, both with no issue when using SaveBeforeNavigating and it operating as intended with ifv=1.&nbsp;

From your screenshot - can you just confirm that when you're testing this you're actually changing something on the record? Like actually entering/changing at least one field? If you're not entering any data and then clicking the button - the behavior might be a little odd since it's not registering potentially that there is anything to save.&nbsp;------------------------------Chayce Duncan------------------------------

Yeah, I was adding an email address (it's required to get the button to show) but then i was blanking it out in the screenshot bc habits lol.

Here is the formula:

var text url = URLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; [_DBID_Landing_Pages] &amp; "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&amp;dfid=12&amp;_fid_6=" &amp; URLEncode ([Related Person])&amp; "&amp;z=" &amp; Rurl();
"&lt;a class='"&amp;[GV_AppButtonClass]&amp;" SaveBeforeNavigating' style='color: white; display:inline-block; white-space:nowrap; background: #b532b5; border:1px solid #999; text-align:center; text-decoration:none' href=\"" &amp;$url&amp; "\""&nbsp;&amp; "&gt;Create New Report/Request&lt;/a&gt;"

And again, it's weird, because it works just fine when not in the ifv. I may be able to do a screengrab of the behavior - showing it works in regular, but not in ifv.&nbsp;------------------------------Danielle Wilczewski------------------------------

I would suggest a screengrab and potentially pass that to QB support. I can't tell from your screenshot what browser you're using if that might be causing an issue or if it's something to do with the data being entered/triggering the save. When testing on Chrome I'm not getting the same issue but QB support might be able to see something I don't with access unless someone else from the forum chimes in.&nbsp;------------------------------Chayce Duncan------------------------------
