I have created a formula field, which allows me to click on an image to then create a new user record, based on what has been entered on a case.

This is the formula:

HYPERLINK("/005/e?& Email =  Case.New_User_Email__c  ", IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015E0000009ELB5","Create new user record]"), "_blank")

So, I have my case object, which contains the field New_User_Email__c. I want to take that field and then populate the Email field on the User object.

When I now click on the button that I created in my formula, I only get an empty user record. The url that is shown in the browser is as follows: /005/e?&%20Email%20=%20%20Case.New_User_Email__c

Any ideas what is wrong with my formula? Tia, Lily.

Change the formula as below,

HYPERLINK("/005/e?& Email =  Case.New_User_Email__c  ", IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015E0000009ELB5","Create new user record]"), "_blank")

To

HYPERLINK("/005/e?Email="&Case.New_User_Email__c, IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015E0000009ELB5","Create new user record]"), "_blank")

  • Thanks, that worked! I changed it to 'HYPERLINK("/005/e?Email="&New_User_Email__c, IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015E0000009ELB5","Create new user record]"), "_blank")' as it did not like 'case' in the formula – Lily Nov 16 '17 at 11:12
  • It seems that now I am stuck again, when I want to add a second field. This time, it looks like this: HYPERLINK("/005/e?Email="&New_User_Email__c& "?Status__c="& User_Status__c, IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=015E0000009ELB5","Create new user record]"), "_blank"). I am not sure how to link a second field into the URL - are you able to help? – Lily Nov 16 '17 at 13:30
