How to avoid redirecting to a single route when using `remote: true` link from two different pages

[andrewhavens]

Sorry, I've tried to find the answer to this question but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. In my Rails app, I use <%= link_to ... remote: true %> to perform AJAX create/update requests. However, I'm trying to call the same controller action from two different pages, which means, in one scenario it's redirecting to the wrong place. I'd like for the page to simply refresh itself once the call has finished successfully, but instead, it currently redirects to the location that the controller specifies. The whole point of using the link_to ... remote: true syntax is that it's quick and easy, so I hope to find a simple/supported way to do this. Thanks!

@andrewhavens is this still an issue for you?

@MrHubble Yes, I’m not sure how to achieve this.
