bathy Prefill contact lookup field in new task edit page
Hi All,
We have a new requirement to prefill name field with Contact related to the object from where the new task is being created. I want this to be done globally. Can this be achieved?
I have done URL hacking for two custom objects previously but now my users want this to happen every time they create a new task.
Any Ideas?

How about creating a visualforce page and override the standard new task button with this visualforce page?
&tsk2={!Custom_Object__c.Contact__c}
to the url.
tsk2 is the "Name" field in the task
Custom_Object__c is the custom object
Contact__c is the custom lookup field to the Contact object.
I thought the same thing, but how can we reference to parent object in the VF Page? it keeps changing for every object right?
Can you please include code for that if Possible?
Thanks,
Yeah I did the same for a custom object. Now my users want this from every object they create a new task. With this option,I will end up creating new Task button for every object. Is there any geenral refernce for parent object in URl Hacking?
But here is the idea, when some one clicks the button you can focus on the page from where you are creating a task to capture the required information to be populated in your task. This could be achived using jQuery.
Thanks for oyur idea. I dont have any knowledge of Jquery. Can you please help me out with code snippets or link to any documentation on Jquery?
