How to jump right into Edit

When I create a new person, after pressing the "add" button I am directed to the tree view of that person. In most cases I want to continue editing that profile.

Is there a way to jump right into the edit mode of a profile, instead of going to the profile and then "edit"?

Thanks!

Hi Ronald,

It's an interesting idea. We could at least add a link so it's one click away.

The output there is really for Trusted List additions. I wonder how many members actually do make TL additions directly after creating a profile.

Would this bypass the ''duplicate'' search before creating/editing the new profile ?
Hi Guy. No, this is after the profile is created.
I would expect that TL additions right after profile creation are much less common than edits right after creation.
At the bottom of the creation page, besides the ''Add New Person'' button, we could have a new button ''Add & Edit New Person''
The "Edit Profile" icon like the one in the watchlist (the yellow square with the green arrow) in the tree view that follows after adding a person would do the trick.
It was easy to add a link to edit after profile creation, so that's now been done.

It might be worth talking about whether to skip the entire TL-addition step after a profile is created and just give a status message above the edit profile page. If anybody wants to start a new thread for that, please do. Thanks.
