Feature Proposals » AUTOINC in the redirectto parameter of the save script to be replaced with the AUTOINC number

Motivation

After saving a new topic AUTOINC0, you may want to redirect the browser to a URL based on the new topic name.

Description and Documentation

AUTOINC in the redirectto parameter provided to the save script is replaced by the topic name's AUTOINC number.

For example, if a topic name specified is ItemAUTOINC00000 and it got the topic name Item01234 when saved, and it got redirectto parameter as http://twiki.example.com/Apps/TopicViewer?id=ItemAUTOINC, the browser is redirected to http://twiki.example.com/Apps/TopicViewer?id=Item01234,

This kind of situation happens in a TWiki application which store data in topics named by AUTOINC. After a new item is created, you may need to display the create data but you may use a viewer topic rather than displaying the new topic plainly. To display the new data using the viewer page after the data topic is created, this feature is required.

Looks OK. Personally I have not come across this need.
