Custom Case Buttom

I already created the button called "Take Case"

 

It was requested to do 2 things:

 

  1. Assign the current user who clicked on it as the "Case Owner" - I figured this part out.
  2. Take the current user to the edit page for the case record. - I'm stuck on this.

 

It is a detail page button, that is executing javascript on click. 

 

Any ideas how I can get it to open the case edit screen?

Try this:

 

window.parent.location.href="/{!Case.Id}/e?retURL=%2F'{!Case.Id}'";

 

you can quote code by using the Code formatter in the tool bar :)

Could you just use this URL?

 

/{!Case.Id}/e?retURL=%2F{!Case.Id}

I think that's probably pretty close...I got this error text when clicking the button:

A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered:

invalid flag after regular expression

 

invalid Flag? 

 

 

I am ubernoob...so that means very little to me as far as being able to see the problem in my code.

Could you post the code of your s-control?

Here it is:

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/13.0/connection.js")}

    var caseObj = new sforce.SObject("Case");
    caseObj.Id = '{!Case.Id}';
    caseObj.OwnerId = '{!$User.Id}';
    var result = sforce.connection.update([caseObj]);

    if (result[0].success=='false') {
         alert(result[0].errors.message);
    } else {
       /{!Case.Id}/e?retURL=%2F'{!Case.Id}'
    }

Ahh!

 

I see it now!

 

Thanks so much for the help!  My new "Take Case" button is in place and doing exactly what it was intended to do:

 

1. Change the Case Owner to the user that clicks the button

2. Open the Case edit screen, after assigning ownership.

 

Code Below if anyone wants a "Take Case" button (using the Paste Code button...Thanks again, mpann!):

 

This is a "Detail Page" button, "execute Javascript" is the behavior, and the content source is "onclick javascript":

 

 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/13.0/connection.js")}

    var caseObj = new sforce.SObject("Case");
    caseObj.Id = '{!Case.Id}';
    caseObj.OwnerId = '{!$User.Id}';
    var result = sforce.connection.update([caseObj]);

    if (result[0].success=='false') {
         alert(result[0].errors.message);
    } else {
       window.parent.location.href="/{!Case.Id}/e?retURL=%2F{!Case.Id}";
    }
