Returning information using who_id

Question

I'm using the who_id to get the id of a custom object but I would like to populate the name but the code is not working.

Here is sample url:

/00T/e?who_id={!Custom_Object__c.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Custom_Object__c.Contact_Name__c}

Here, Contact_Name__c is a lookup field to the Account object

Kindly review and answer: What part of the code is not working? What is expected and what are you getting? Is there any error that your receiving, if yes, have you included that error in your question? — Mahmood, May 2, 2017 at 22:18
I'm not able to see the contact name associated to who I'm trying to create the task for, the expected result is for the contact name to be prefilled when creating a new task. There is not error, the contact name is blank. — volley_chic, May 3, 2017 at 12:32

I changed the whoid to the whatid but still didn't work. Thanks for the diagram!

Make sure you add attribution when including others' work in your posts, even if it is from Salesforce proper.
