Vijay Vadgama Salesforce Lightning URL Hack - Cannot return to the original record after pressing "Save"
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone can help me?
I'm actually having an issue when trying to "save" the record (pressing "Cancel" on the record is fine) after pressing the custom URL button.
Here's a video example:
https://www.screencast.com/t/hrOkuHx4
Let me give you some background:
As we're transitioning to Lightning, the business is requiring Lead information to be populated to activities (which can't be done using Actions). I've created a URL hack for "New Task" which displays near the buttons on the Lead lightning page. Pressing the "New Task" button (and cancelling) is working fine, but when I try to "save" the Task record, it re-directs me to the Task page, despite having &retURL at the end of my hyperlink.
I've tried every possible solution I can think of, but this issue still persists. Can somebody please help me if they know how to return to the record the button was pressed on? (in my case, Lead)
My URL example:
/lightning/o/Task/new?defaultFieldValues=
{!IF(ISBLANK(Lead.AccountId__c),'','WhatId='&Lead.AccountId__c)},
{!IF(ISBLANK(Lead.Primary_ContactId__c),'WhoId='&Lead.Id,'WhoId='&Lead.Primary_ContactId__c)},
Lead_Lookup__c={!Lead.Id}
&retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id},
backgroundContext=%2Flightning%2Fr%2FLead%2F{!Lead.Id}%2Fview

VJ

To get this functionality you could potentially use either a Visual Flow or custom Lightning Component, but you won't be able to do it just through standard button URLs
You could additionally see the below idea that is currently open and to which you can upvote in case if you think this might be useful in the future.
