Tate, I'm happy to help, but please post your code. We don't know what "This" is.

Sorry, Coach. I was more saying this in case others were seeing weird behavior. I'm not sure if you have been seeing this, but this week I have noticed that redirects in the app have been landing me in some unexpected places.

In any case, this is the code for the button that redirects me to the home page of the app and no longer keeps me on the same page. The better thing for me to do would have been to enter a bug report here. If you don't see anything with this code, I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks (as always!) for your help.

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" 
&"&rid=" & [Record ID#] 
& "&_fid_6=Yes"
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode( URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl())

OK, I can confirm. I have also had random examples where that perfectly good code does not work. It redirect me to the app homepage instead of refreshing the page I'm on
Anyways, the next time this happens to me or you, we should put in a bug report so they can fix it.

I have not been able to understand the pattern of why the button mostly works, but then sometimes does not.
