Is there anyway to pre-populate opportunity name value

Hello,

 

I would like to pre-populate opportunity name value after I clicked "New" button in the Opportunity Tab.

 

I know how to replace opportunity name after I clicked "Save" button in the entry page of Opportunity.

 

I just would like to know how to pre-set it before saving data.

 

Thank you in advance.

you can acheive this by extending the controller. Make sure your VF page has the following apex::page tag

<apex:page standardController="ObjectA" extensions="ObjectAExtension">

</apex:page>

 

The controller class should be as below

 

public with sharing class ObjectAExtension

{

public ObjectA  oa {get; set;}

 

public ObjectAExtension(Apexpages.standardController sc)

{

oa = (ObjectA) sc.getRecord();

oa = [select field1, field2, ... from ObjectA where id = :oa.id];

                //Make changes to the fields that you want to pouplate by default

}

//This is for updating the record after user enters the values and submits to save

public Pagereference updateOA()

{

update oa;

}

}

 

 

In the VF page refer to the fields of ObjectA using apex:inputField tag to respect the datatype by default.

You can't set a value in opportunity name after clicking on new button in opportunity object. For this create a standard controller with a extension to get record in constructor and select the field in which you want to set / update the values.

 

Hope this helps.
