I have the onclick javaScript custom clone which has a functionality that populates a custom field called "Cloned From".

Upon click of Clone button, on create record layout, the "Clone From" will be populated by the Record ID of the Original Record. Since this is not supported on Lightning Experience, we would like to know if there is a workaround kind of behavior?

    You need to share your code if you want an answer to why it doesn't work.

  • Ahh, OK. URL hacking like this doesn't work in Lightning, but you can call actions that achieve this. See trailhead.salesforce.com/en/lex_migration_customization/…

  • You have to write your own component as per the answer below, but instead of including a script block to populate the record id, if you component implements force:hasRecordId, then it will be given the record id automatically. See here for sample code: andyinthecloud.com/2016/08/21/…

Create a visualforce page for selected object. e.g:- for contact object 

<apex:page standardController="Contact" >
<script>
    var id= "{!record.id}";
    console.log(id);
</script>

then you can pass this id to a component. which will create a cloned record.

you have to create a new action button on contact which will open above page and then add it to the page layout.

  • $Lightning.createComponent("c:creteClone",{ "id" : id },"lightning",function(cmp) {});

  • you have to create a new LightningComponent which will get id of record as parameter and make clone of that record.
