Redirect after save

I've set-up related records to appear at the bottom of another record, in this case it's product availability records to appear at the bottom of a product record in the CMS.
I can add a separator using custom HTML for 'Create new record' which takes the user to the form to add a new product availability record but when they save this, they are taken back to the product availability section within the CMS.
Is it possible that after saving the record, I redirect them back to the product record that were looking at previously?
Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,
In order to set the previous url you need to add the variable 'return_url=' with the previous query html encoded as the value.
In your HTML separator, where you have the link to create a new record added, try the following:
The above is just an example, you'll need to tweak it to fit your code. The important bit is grabbing the current page view query ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) and adding it to the end of the link so that it's passed in the URL.
Hope this helps,
Tom

Re: [Tom P] Redirect after save - Related Records
Thanks Tom, that's exactly what I wanted.
For anybody else that's interested, here's another great response of how to add a 'Create' button for a Related Records field which can then be used with Tom's suggestion:
