Open a new record in its expanded layout

Hello,

I built an interface which allow users to add records in a list table, when they click Add record.

I would like to have the new records opened directly in their expanded layout, instead of creating a new line and then clicking the line.

Is this possible ? (Via the Add record of the current page, and even via buttons in other pages)

I can try scripts but I've never done that before so any help is welcome !

Many thanks for your help

Hmm, perhaps you could try creating a form for them to add the record, and then redirect them to the expanded layout with that record selected?

https://support.airtable.com/docs/applications-of-record-functions#enabling-form-redirects-with-recordid

Yes, you can do this by using the keyboard shortcut Shift-Command-Return on Mac (or Shift-Control-Return on Windows).

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your answers ! A form isn't working as I need to display some lookup field.

And the keyboard shortcut is good but the users of my interface won't remember it, I would like the display to be automated.

I tried this script :

function expandRecord(record) {

console.log('Expanded Record:', record);

}

function onAddService(newRecord) {

expandRecord(newRecord);

}

But it is not working .. (it's my first script)

Thanks in advance for any help !
