how to prepopulate picklist values via apex call when New opportunity record creation.

Hi,

Greetings to you!

Please try the below code, I have tested in my org and it is working fine. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.

Visualforce: 
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" extensions="RedirectNewOpptyController" action="{!NavigateToURL}">
</apex:page>

Controller: 
public class RedirectNewOpptyController {
    public RedirectNewOpptyController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
    }
    
    public pagereference navigateToURL(){
        return new pageReference('/006/e?retURL=%2F006%2Fo&ent=Opportunity&opp11=Prospecting');
    }
}

Override the standard 'New Button' with a visualforce page.


Also, please refer to below link which might help you further.
