Multiple Source parameter in QueryString

Question

Hi Experts,
I am having a Page with a Default list view of a custom list. With jquery i relink the click on the edit-button to a custom Edit-Form and i add the Source to the QueryString, like so:
var myList = $('a[href*="84858E12"]');
if(myList)
myList.each(function ()
var att = $(this).attr('onclick');
if(att)
if(att.match(/ID=([0-9]*)/))
var id = $(this).attr('onclick').match(/ID=([0-9]*)/)[1];
var bo = $(this).closest('td').next('td').next('td').find('a').text();
$(this).removeAttr('onclick');
$(this).attr('href', '/Lists/myList/Edit.aspx?ID=' + id + "&BO=" + bo + "&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read");
$(this).attr('onclick', 'GoToLink(this);return false;');
So my starting page was http://xxx.com/Seiten/acm.aspx
Then when i click to edit my custom Form comes up and URL is:
http://xxx.com/Lists/myList/Edit.aspx?ID=80&BO=LE/2014/2000080&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fxxxt%2Ecom%2FSeiten%2Facm%2Easpx
This custom Edit-Form has a list view Webpart on the bottom to show related data from another list. Also here i relinked the edit button to a custom edit form of that list, like so:
var hu = window.location.href;
var gy = hu.split("&");
var source =gy[0]; var orgurl = hu;
var com = $("a[href*='ListId=%7B636BE5B5%2D8BD7%2D4CC0%2D9856%2DAF1A0F272C97%7D']");
if(com)
com.each(function ()
$(this).removeAttr("onclick");
$(this).click(function(e)
e.preventDefault();
var currentid = $(this).attr('href').match(/ID=([0-9]*)/)[1];
var encbo = getBO();
$s = "/Lists/many/Edit.aspx?ID=" + currentid + "&BO=" + encbo + "&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read" + "&Source=" + source + "%26BO=" + encbo + "%26InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read";
location.href = $s;
So when i click i go to the related data edit form, URL is:
http://xxx.com/Lists/many/Edit.aspx?ID=94&BO=LE/2014/2000080&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read&Source=http://xxx.com/Lists/myList/Edit.aspx?ID=80%26BO=LE/2014/2000080%26InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read
When i save or cancel i will come back where i came from (works great!) but then my origin starting URL (http://xxx.com/Seiten/acm.aspx) is not there as the Source Portion of the QueryString (And until now i didn't
set it somewhere). So when i now click cancel or save (I am in the first custom edit form) I am at the Default AllItems.aspx and not where i started from.
So i tried to add a second Source Portion to the Source, like so:
$s = "/Lists/xxx/Edit.aspx?ID=" + currentid + "&BO=" + encbo + "&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read" + "&Source="
+ source + "%26BO=" + encbo + "%26InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read"
+ "%26Source=" + orgurl;
This will not work! -SharePoint does not parse the 2nd Source Portion and adds a comma into the QueryString.
Does anybody know how to get around this?
Thanks, Ronny

Hi Ronny,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to pass multiple Source parameters in Query String.
Per my knowledge, the full URL should be http://xxx.com/Lists/many/Edit.aspx?ID=94&BO=LE/2014/2000080&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read&Source=http://xxx.com/Lists/myList/Edit.aspx?ID=80%26BO=LE/2014/2000080%26InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read%26Source=http%3A%2F%2Fxxxt%2Ecom%2FSeiten%2Facm%2Easpx
based on your need.
The second ‘&Source’ should be replaced with ‘%26Source’ and then the URL can work.
Please test with the URL above in the browser directly to see if the issue still occurs.
If not, please check if there is anything incorrect in your code.
