Custom list form: save and keep editing - how?
Hello,
When I create a new list item and save it, I would like to keep the list form open instead of closing it. I then want to show additional fields and a button that will trigger a workflow....

You will probably have to use a Flow to add the item instead of the default save and return the ID to your form to store and then don't call RequestHide. If the user clicks the save again, pass the ID to your Flow and do an update instead. This will mean you can't have attachments unless you use a separate Flow to add them as we used to before it was supported in the form.
Another might be to simulate what happens when you edit by getting the last item added by the current user to get the ID and use that to populate the form fields on the edit form but no idea if that would work.

Thanks Alan Marshall , I think I found another workaround that does not required editing after the new item is saved.
