I have created a custom object and in the task, i have created a detail page button to automatically create the new custom object but including already some information from the task. my Url looks like:

https://cs83.salesforce.com/a0P/e?retURL=%2Fa0P%2Fo&00N4E000000W6wU={!Account.Id}&CF00N4E000000WAUy_lkid={!Account.Id}

just to clarify: 00N4E000000W6wU is a text field to check, if the value is correct, which it is 00N4E000000WAUy is the lookup field for Account in the new custom object, which i want to be filled, but this won´t work.

Here is the result URL

https://cs83.salesforce.com/a0P/e?retURL=%2Fa0P%2Fo&00N4E000000W6wU=001D000001h5hLB&CF00N4E000000WAUy_lkid=001D000001h5hLB

Am i missing something here?

Thanks in advance for your help

It should be Account.Name and Account.Id for the _lkId

CF00N4E000000WAUy={!Account.Name}&CF00N4E000000WAUy_lkid={!Account.Id}

Also note, no spaces after or before &

  • thx for that, tried different versions already, changed to cs83.salesforce.com/a0P/…{!Account.Name}&CF00N4E000000WAUy_lkid={!Account.Id} but still not working, the Account.Id in the first field is only there for checking, if it in general gets the id

  • ok...just read another article, which clarifies to my what you already explained. i should forward both, the name and the id...for me, that means "cs83.salesforce.com/a0P/e?00N4E000000W6wU={!Account.Id}&CF00N4E000000WAUy={!Account.Name}&CF00N4E000000WAUy_lkid={!Account.Id} and this is working as expected, thanks

  • Yes for a lookup, both name and Id should be passed. Good to know it worked! cheers!
