I have a requirement to be able to create a PO using certain values from a work order, and then navigate to that newly created PO.  The user will perform some actions, and then return to the WO.  I was able to script most of this, with the exception of getting both halves of the navigation to work. I can either navigate to the PO app list page, with a successful return link, or I can navigate to the specific PO, but the return link is missing.  Can anyone compare the two script snippets and let me know of a way to get both the "navigate to the specific PO" and the "return to work order" link to work?

Snippet 1 - Navigate to the PO list page, with successful return link.

wcs = service.webclientsession();
wce = wcs.getOriginalEvent();
appl = wcs.getCurrentApp();

e = WebClientEvent("gotoapp", None, "PO", wce.getSessionContext());

se = WebClientEvent("execevent", wce.getSessionContext().getCurrentAppId(), e, wce.getSessionContext());
appl.put("returninputR/O", "true");
Utility.sendEvent(se);

Code Snippet 2 - Navigate to the Specific PO, but no working return link

wcs = service.webclientsession()
wce = wcs.getOriginalEvent()
appl = wcs.getCurrentApp()
appstr = str(appl)

se = WebClientEvent("changeapp", appstr, "PO", None, None, None, newPOID, wcs)
appl.put("returninputR/O", "True")
Utility.sendEvent(se)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
