CRM 2013 On Premise
Hello,
I have a dialog process that walks a user through steps / biz rules and at the end either creates an order or a quote. I am using the "Create Record" dialog step. That all works well.
I then wanted to automatically take the user to the new record. This is still my preferred solution.
However when Googling for ideas / approaches to accomplishing this I came across:

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11316172/crm-2011-dialog-open-the-entity-created-in-a-dialog
This would be an acceptable solution....except it isn't working for me.
Let's work with the quote.
This dialog is launched from an opportunity. After the create record step where I create the new quote I inserted a new page called "Display Record Link". I insert a prompt and response. For the prompt I click insert hyperlink. For URL I first use the "Look For" drop down and select Create Quote (Quote) which is the name of the create quote step. I then selectRecord-URL(Dynamic). This is concatenated into the url field as Create Quote(Quote)-{Record Url(Dynamic)}COOL? Not exactly. When I run through the dialog the quote does get created. The page does show with the hyperlink. Clicking on it does nothing though. Exploring the element with F-12 developer tools shows that..when you finally get through to the anchor tag that the url is #.
Well that explains why nothing happens when I click it but kinda disappointing as I was hoping this would be a solution and I could move on.
So if someone could explain why I am getting a # for my url or a way to automatically take the user to the newly created quote record.
Thank You
