This should be possible. Sounds like you just have an error in your clientscript. You would need to post that code for us to help. Also, it seems overly complex for what you're trying to do. Do you need a separate process for Save & Edit or could you just make it where it always reopens in Edit mode when you use the native Save button? If that was acceptable, it should be as simple as using the N/redirect module in a UE afterSubmit.
