Direct to EditForm based on User

[Tim Leschinsky]

Need to take user to EditForm from list link click, bypassing DispForm, based on field entry in list. For example, field “Pre-Approver” has value “Joe Blow”. For this user, want to take directly to EditForm, reducing clicks.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
This can be done by setting up a rule triggering on “Compare logged in user with people picker field” and have this rule call a the function “goToEditForm” in the “Run these functions / trigger these rules”. Then add this to the Custom JS”:

function goToEditForm(){
    location.href = location.href.replace("DispForm.aspx","EditForm.aspx");
}

Let me know how this works out.

Works like a charm, Alexander!

Behavior mimics a Redirect, with brief, initial load of DispForm, then right to EditForm.

Much appreciated!

Best,

Tim
