Hi Susan

If you look at the url from the "new item" link, it would usually look something like this: http://mynintexdomain/Lists/MRO%20Test%203/NewForm.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmynintexdomain%2Fspielwiese%2FLists%2FMRO%2520Test%25203%2FAllItems%2Easpx&RootFolder=

The "Source=xyz" path tells the form where to Redirect after being submitted. if you have the possibility to change these links you have on pages A, B and C to pass the correct "Source" parameters, then you should be fine without the need of any JavaScript within the form. The link on page A would need to have the (url-encoded) url of page A as source parameter (http://blah/NewForm.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fblah%2FpageA), the link on page B would have the url of page B as source parameter etc.

Thank you!! I will give this a try. Our office is moving this weekend so it will be early next week when I can give it a try.

That doesn't quite work. No matter which page I start from, when I get to the new Form page, it has the appropriate Source=blah%20blah%20PageA or ...PageB or ...PageC identification. Why would I need to encode the Source path if SharePoint does that automatically?

There's only one blank for the Redirect URL entry on the Form itself (Form Settings, Advanced). *This* is what has to be different no matter what page the user starts on. I don't want them to hit the back button, I want the form to automatically send them back there after being submitted.

Where do I define "go back to source" when the form is done? I don't just put "source" in the Redirect URL box, or do I?

Thank you!

Hi Susan

Ok, that's what I did:

1. Create a List in SharePoint, called "Test Redirect"
2. Add a Nintex Form (I used a classic form to test) to the list
3. Click the "new item" link on the list
   
4. This shows up the form. The Address bar says https://nintexTest/spielwiese/Lists/Test%20Redirect/NewForm.aspx?Source=https%3A%2F%2FnintexTest%2Fspielwiese%2FLists%2FTest%2520Redirect%2FAllItems%2Easpx&RootFolder= (the list is on the "spielwiese" subsite)
5. Manually change the url to look like this: https://nintexTest/spielwiese/Lists/Test%20Redirect/NewForm.aspx?Source=/ and hit enter
6. Fill in the form and submit it
7. You will be redirected to the SharePoint root

What happened? I replaced the Source query-string by the relative url /. This is the url of the site root. After submitting the form, SharePoint redirects me to this url (as long as it's within SharePoint). Note that I didn't url-encode the parameter to keep it simple, but usually you should.

What does this mean? If you add a "Source" Parameter to the url, SharePoint will bring you there after submitting the form. This is not a Nintex feature, but a SharePoint feature, but in my test it worked also when using a Nintex form.

And now? You can create a link to a form, which also contains the information about where you want to user to be redirected afterwards. Place a link to the form on your Page A, and make sure it has the query string ?Source=/SitePages/PageA.aspx, and it will bring the user back to Page A after submitting the form. Don't enter anything into the "Redirect URL" Field in the form settings, because the redirection will be handled by SharePoint, not by Nintex.

I tested this on Nintex for SharePoint 2016 with classic forms.

I hope this helps

The Urls from the "add object" link usually looks like this: https://seotoolsystem.com/htaccess-redirect-generator Lists/MRO%20Test%203/NewForm.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmynintexdomain%2Fspielwi...=

The "Supplier" route instructs the form where to redirect to that after receiving a submission. You shouldn't require any Scripting within the form if you have the option to modify the links on sites A, B, and C to send the proper "Source" parameters. The url on webpage A would need to have the (url-encoded) url of page B as source parameter.
