Quote.Contact

Hi

 

I am trying to pass the Contact (Prepared For) ID in a detail page button on the Quote Object to a VF page.  Every time I use Quote.Contact or Quote.ContactID I get an error indicating the field does not exist. What should I use?

 

Many thanks in advance

Ross

You are almost there. If you want just name (plain text) then you can use Quote.Contact.Name, if you want name as link then use Quote.ContactId

 

<apex:outputField value="{!Quote.ContactId}"/>
<apex:outputField value="{!Quote.Contact.Name}"/>

 

Let me know if this helps.

Many thanks for the reply.

 

I am not trying to output it in a VF page - I am trying to pass it in the URL when a Custom Button is clicked:-

 

/apex/emailpdf?title=eMail Quotation&toid={!Opportunity.CQS_Quote_ContactId__c}&whatid={!Opportunity.Id}&returl={!Opportunity.Id}&&page1=opp_quote&filename1={!Opportunity.CQS_Product_Category__c} Quotation - {!Opportunity.Account} - {!NOW()}&id={!Opportunity.Id}

Ross, Seems some bug while accessing Quote.ContactId.

An option you could do is to use a formula field which would copy ContactId, Then use that formula field for passing ContactId in url.

I have the same issue, but I don't know how to write such a formula.
Can you help me?

Mirko, You can create one formula field return type as text in Quote object-->   
Contact.FirstName +' '+ Contact.LastName
Let me know if this helps.
