Option for Interface Button action "Go to interface page" - stay on current record ID

[shaun]

Hey team!

We created an interface for our orders, and have one page that is "view only" and another that is editable.  I placed an "Edit" button at the top of the view-only interface that opens the editable one.  However, it doesn't stay on the current record ID when doing so, and instead goes back to the record at the top of the list. 

It would be nice if on this menu, there was an option to "Stay on current record" for buttons.

This would enable us to more smoothly go through our workflow when processing orders, and I'm sure others would find other uses for it as well.

Hi @shaun ,

I duplicated this by creating a interface page that is read only.  Then by clicking into the record you get a version you can mark fields as editable.  This sounds like what you are trying to do.  You don't need a separate button or a separate interface.

Hmm, you could also add a formula field to your table that has the editable Interface's URL modified with the record ID, and point that "Edit" button at that field instead.  Should do what you're looking for

Hi @Dan_Montoya,

Thank you for the response.  Would you be able to provide a bit more detail on how I can accomplish opening the record in edit mode?  The reason we want the safeguard is to prevent accidental changes while reviewing records.  Here is a screenshot of the read-only order interface, do you know where I would go to be able to make it "open" it as you described?  The fields on this page are not currently editable, but I'd like a seamless way to transition to being able to edit this data while also having the page look the same.

@TheTimeSavingCo  oh, that might work.  thank you!!

Also, as a general note I do think some type of "maintaining record" functionality built in just makes sense if you have already can make buttons that go to other interface pages.  Otherwise what good is going to another interface page if you are working with a single record or need some continuity in performing a certain task?
