Hello julievancouver,

I don't tested it, but I suppose, that you should set both closeAfterAdd:true and closeAfterEdit:true beacuse the code of Add and Edit will be shared. You can also try to use recreateForm:true which is a standard settings in my code.

By the way you can change the default settings for this parameters with

jQuery.extend (jQuery.jgrid.edit, {closeAfterAdd:true, closeAfterEdit:true, recreateForm:true});

Best regards
Oleg
