submit and redirect to list view in custom app

[BrianaC]

Hi,

I have a custom app I am making in ui builder and I am wondering if someone can help me with a updating a the script on a ui action so that after I submit a form, it goes back to the list view of the form just like in native ui.

I tried the following script but it is still not redirecting back to list view after submitting successfully:

answer = current.insert();
if(answer){
action.setRedirectURL(current.getTableName() + '.list')
}
gs.include('ActionUtils');
var au = new ActionUtils();
au.postInsert(current);

Hello @BrianaC,

I’m still a bit newer to UI Builder myself, and finished the UI builder course a few weeks ago. I haven't tried this out yet, but this is what I am thinking might work. 

Instead of redirecting from the UI Action, I’d try handling this through events:

1. Open the component that’s doing the submit (button or form)

2. Go to the Events tab

3. Add an Event Mapping for the successful create/update event

4. From there, use a navigation action like Link to destination and point it back to your list page

Reference doc:

edit: I also see that it works with now assist, so this might be something cool to try out.

I hope this helps!
