Save without closing form

Saving without closing a form – Customer Feedback for Nintex

Hey,

The only way I could find to go around this is to Submit the form BUT then Force Redirect the page back to itself using a custom function:

function RedirectToSelf() {

    if (!IsEditMode) {

        return;

    }

    var action = NWF$('#aspnetForm').attr('action');

    var shortAction = action.substring(0, action.indexOf('&'));

    var finalAction = shortAction + '&Source=' + shortAction;

    NWF$('#aspnetForm').attr('action', finalAction);

}

Hope it helps someone!

What I did was add this to the Redirect URL in the Advanced section of the Form Settings:

fn-If(fn-Equals(Status,"Submitted"),fn-Replace(Item URL,"DispForm","EditForm"),fn-GetQueryString("Source"))

This doesn't work perfectly for me yet because it will do the redirect any time an item with Status=="Submitted" is saved; I really only want it to happen when the status changes to In Process.  Also, the redirect when the Cancel button is clicked on the item doesn't work right yet.

Note that I am using the fn-Replace because I want it to reopen in Edit mode.  You can take that function out and just leave the Item URL if you are OK with it reopening in Display mode.

I guess to redirect the form to edit/Display view we will require "ID" to get generated hence the Advance section function wont work as ID wont be generated before redirection.To check his try adding hardcoded it  will redirect

For my case, the redirection isn’t needed at the time of creation, only after being saved, but you might be right if this were attempted on a new item. I’m not sure if the life cycle would generate the ID and feed it back in time for the Item URL property to be set properly.

I was able to redirect to the Edit form by changing the Item URL portion to fn-Replace(Item URL,”DispForm”,”EditForm”). I need to do more testing but I am thinking that the formula needs to append the Source item from the query string so that it redirects properly after the next action. That would be (proper syntax still needed): fn-If(fn-Equals(Status,"Submitted"),fn-Replace(Item URL,"DispForm","EditForm")”&Source=” fn-GetQueryString("Source"),fn-GetQueryString("Source")).

Can you check if you are getting the correct Item  URL? I tried redirecting to Item  URL  few days back but Item URL did have the value of ID

Aditya, I am getting the correct item URL.  To be clear, I am doing this from an existing item not from a new item.  It is possible it wouldn't work from a new item because the ID wouldn't be assigned until it is posted.

The problem I have now is the appending of the &Source part.  I cannot get it to work because everything I try converts the & to &.  I even tried using fn-XmlDecode("&Source=").  Anyone have an idea?

can u post the url example?

My formula is

fn-If(fn-Equals(Status,"Submitted"),fn-Replace(Item URL,"DispForm","EditForm")&Source=fn-GetQueryString("Source"),fn-GetQueryString("Source"))

The resulting URL (Site URL portion removed) is

.../Requests/EditForm.aspx?ID=43&Source=.../Requests/Submitted.aspx

Nintex has announced yesterday this functionality is nearing completion and they are aiming for a March release!

That's super exciting! 

Annnnd it looks like "Save & Continue" is now released. WOO!

Which version?  We are running Forms 2010 v1.11.2.0 and I don't see it.

My guess is that this is only for 2013 / 2016 ..

I don't see it in your release notes:
