Thanks Kev, that's definitely what I call a 'better way' :) 

It turns out that [value fieldname] doesn't yet exactly do the trick, 
probably because using a regular <a href> doesn't end up actually posting the 
variables? 

Anyhow, a [dump] reveals that the user's session *does* contain the form 
variables of the previous page, in its 'History' section. If I read my form 
fields from there when the detail page is loaded for the first time, the rest 
should be a piece of cake.
