URL field creation help

Hi,

I have a Product section in Lead object and I want to create a field that contain the user name ( With hyper link ) , who edit this section.

For that I created a TEXT field  “Last User “ and create a workflow rule , if any changes occur into the Product section then field update Last user  = last modified user name.

But the problem is,  I am able to get user name like “ Jon Smith” but can’t able to create a Hyper link on that. 

We have function like URL and HYPERLINK but we can’t use them for Field update / Workflow rule.

Any idea ??

Regards,
Deepak

Hey Thanks for reply.

 

I can use look up field , but how can i set the field value automatically ( Via field update , i have set the value for this field).

 

I hope you got my point.

 

Thanks,

Deepak

Query :

 

   1.Where you are updating the user name.

 

If its in lead,then write a trigger for copy the value from that text to lookup.(Trigger  in lead)

Hi,

 

I create a Text field  and a workflow rule.

 

Via field update option i updated this Text value.

Use a Trigger to update the lookup values from that text field to lookup field
