Pre-populate fields based on URL with a lookup field
I'm trying to get a detail page button that can handle prepulating fields upon entering a new account time entry from certain custom objects.
For instance my url from my Page1Project object looks like this: .
/a20/e?&CF00N40000002ajJy={!Page1Project__c.ClientCode__c}&CF00N40000002ajK3={!User.Name}&CF00N40000002cgfq={!Page1Project__c.ClientCode__r.Account__c}
I'm getting an error on that bolded part, is it possible to populate based on a lookup value in this case?
what is the error?
there shouldnt be a problem doing that.
but,
you can always create a formula field in page1Project that rolls down that value from the account, and use that in your button.
BTW -
if i remember correctly, the hardcoded ids that you have there, change from each env (not sure though - worth a check).
It's telling me the field doesn't exist (when it does). I'm not entirely sure that I can do lookup values - but the formula field is probably the best bet without getting too complicated.
use the formula editor insert merge fields finction to get the correct name/path to your field.
glad the formula solution is working out for you.
