URL on Home Page to add a new record and then view it in edit mode

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I am trying to use a home page button that will add a new record and then open it in edit mode. How can this be done?&nbsp;https://domainname.quickbase.com/db/brchmnxk7?a=API_AddRecord&amp;rdr=https://domainname.quickbase.com.com/db/ brchmnxk7?a=erI realize this is an incorrect url but it does perform the action of adding the record - and then it takes me to the document tree:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

&lt;qdbapi&gt;

&lt;action&gt;API_AddRecord&lt;/action&gt;

&lt;errcode&gt;0&lt;/errcode&gt;

&lt;errtext&gt;No error&lt;/errtext&gt;

&lt;rid&gt;52&lt;/rid&gt;

&lt;update_id&gt;1620163249201&lt;/update_id&gt;

&lt;/qdbapi&gt;

Any suggestions?------------------------------nancy nancy------------------------------

Unless you get into JavaScript code pages, there is not a way to open in edit mode

The best you can do if this

https://domainname.quickbase.com/db/brchmnxk7?a=API_AddRecord&disprec=1

That suffix means and display record equals true, in other words add the record and then display it. But it will be displayed in view mode and not edit mode.
