Hi, I tried asking how to use this in a roundabout way before. But I realise it was a bit difficult to understand what I was asking. So, I shall try a simpler approach.

Could you explain the purpose and give an example of how to use the Re use dialog box in the tools properties on the Apply button please.

Thanks

It only fill a URL var of your choice, basing on the current CID of the item.


For example you have a table 'ITEMS' with a FK to 'FAMILY'

When you finish editing a new FAMILY, you can redirect to a list of ITEMS filtered on this family.
In this example, only write 'filter_family'.


So, just after, if you click to New (ITEM), this form is prefilled whith the current FAMILY (because it is filtered)
It is much more ergonomic.


You can reuse the 'cid' of the item for whatever url var you want, after task execution.
Coding is now a piece of cake
