| May 8, 2013 at 9:52 | comment | added | eyescream | As long as you're aware of the fact that it won't fire automatically when you'll mass update these custom records from Data Loader for example - you'll be fine. I'm also a bit surprised you had to skip encoding of field names :) Do you have an example? They should be alphanumeric only so safe, looking same after encoding... | |
| May 7, 2013 at 19:20 | comment | added | Jason Paquette | This worked well except to make sure you don't encode the tokens (e.g. don't encode the {!fieldname}) but as long as I encode the &, =, ?, /, etc this worked great! This is a user-initiated process only, so I'm not sure how any API integration would break it? I just want to update/save two records via one button click instead of two button clicks. We have a custom object with a relationship to Leads and I want to update fields on the custom record and the parent Lead record. | |
| May 7, 2013 at 5:40 | comment | added | eyescream | @JasonPaquette you're welcome but to be honest I'm not sure what you all are trying to achieve. I sense some homemade workaround for homemade "rollup summary" or maybe "on child case edit reopen parent Case" and while that's tempting to achieve like that, it'll fail as soon as some kind of API integration kicks in. That's what triggers are for.... What's your use case? | |

@rao yes, just slap encoded save=1 at the end. Full URL to "show me new Acc page and on save make new Task" would be /001/e?saveURL=%2F00T%2Fe%3Ftsk5%3DAutosave%26tsk6%3DLook%2520Ma%2C%2520no%2520hands!%26save%3D1.
