Environment

Python version: 3.6.9
NetBox version: 2.9.3

Steps to Reproduce

create a custom script
run the custom script
the Script Data form is now missing

Expected Behavior

Show the Script Data form after script execution.

Observed Behavior

The Script Data form isn't shown after script execution.

In NetBox before 2.9, after running a custom script, the Script Data form was shown under the Script Log, with the previously entered data.
This was especially helpful if you run the script with Commit changes disabled, to validate the changes the script would do, and then run the script with the same data and Commit changes enabled.

Beginning with v2.9, custom scripts are now executed via a background task (see #2006). The redirection in place prevents the original form data from being displayed on the results page. However, you can easily use the browser's back button to return to the original submission view.

We could add a simple button that checks to see what the current referrer is and call back(). Soemthing like this works:

function runScript(){
    // Check if the user came from the run script form
    if (document.referrer.includes("/extras/scripts/{{ result.name }}/")) {
        window.history.back();
    } else {
        window.location.href = "/extras/scripts/{{ result.name }}/";
    }
}

Soemthing like this works: ```javascript function runScript(){ // Check if the user came from the run script form if (document.referrer.includes("/extras/scripts/{{ result.name }}/")) { window.history.back(); } else { window.location.href = "/extras/scripts/{{ result.name }}/"; } } ```

As I'm totally fine with using the browser's back button, I'm closing this.
