Hi,

I believe it would be useful to add the following bricks.
  1. Save & New. Works similar to Save & Close except it Saves and opens up a empty sheet.
  2. Save & Clone. Works similar to 1. except it Saves and opens up a copy of the Saved item with a new id.
  3. Custom Brick with label. Then once published the user could just call code from the brick action. It would make it easier to automatically replace code instead of having to manually change the files after publish.


Regards
Arnar

The save & new code is really simple

in view form add
if ($access->get('core.edit') || ($isNew && $access->get('core.create') || $access->get('core.edit.own')))
			$bar->appendButton( 'Standard', "save-new", "JTOOLBAR_SAVE_AND_NEW", "save2new", false);

then in controller add
in constructor
        $this->registerTask( 'save2new', 'save' );

in save function
        $task = $this->getTask();

      		if ($cid = parent::_save($post))
		{
			$vars = array();

            if ($task == 'save2new') {
                
                JRequest::setVar( 'cid', 0 );
                JRequest::setVar( 'view'  , 'clubitem');
                JRequest::setVar( 'layout', 'clubitem' );
            }
            else
            {
			    JRequest::setVar( 'view'  , 'clubs');
			    JRequest::setVar( 'layout', 'default' );
			    JRequest::setVar( 'cid', null );
            }
			$this->setRedirect(LpadHelper::urlRequest($vars));
		}
		else
			//Keep the post and stay on page
			parent::display();
