Question: Is there a way to open a form in Edit mode using a Javascript button and a function? I'm trying to allow users to toggle back and forth between Display and Edit in a content type form. I can make the Display mode button by making a Save and Submit button and assigning the Redirect URL to {Common:ItemUrl}
Is there something similar that will allow me to access Edit mode?
Background: I know how to do this on form that is local to a list by using something like the following in the Redirect:
window.open('https://site.name.com/listname/EditForm.aspx?ID={ItemProperty:ID} &mode=1','_self');
This solution won't work because I want to use a Content Type to control my Classic form.
I will be using this form in seven different sub-sites and if changes are needed, it made sense to me to be able to propagate all changes with a content type. I have discovered that you cannot edit a form on a list without breaking the inheritance of the content type (the form appears to become local to the list if you edit it), so I can't add a relative URL at the list level. Something like {Common:ItemUrl} but which opens the form in Edit should work.
I guess a corollary to this question is, is it a terrible idea to use a Nintex form with a content type? Nintex forms seems to handle content types quite differently than does a standard SharePoint form, and I haven't used the two together before.
Thanks for any advice!
