valmeida Setting the "Related To" picklist value via a custom button.
Hello:
I was referred here from the Formulas & Validation Rules Board.
I was told this approach is not officially supported by salesforce (even though they present this technique in various forums), but I would like to proceed. I have a custom object with a custom button that creates a child Task and presets the values on several Task fields. I'm having trouble defaulting one field - the Related To picklist. I want the parent object name in the picklist to default, but I can't seem to do it. Using Firebug, I determined that the Related To picklist field is tsk3_mlktp, but no matter what I try, I can't get that field to default to my custom object name within that picklist. I've tried the object name in double-quotes, as well as the object ID. If I use the object ID, It does populate the actual object ID in the Related To field, but what I need is the value/name of that object.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
