I have a custom button on Object A where it creates record for Object B (No relationship btn objects). The button works fine except it doesn't sets the record type, what iam doing wrong.

/a02/e?retURL=%2F{!A__c.Id}& aid = {!A__c.Id} & RecordType=01240000000M828& 00N40000002Hvox="Active"& 00N40000003BOiQ={!A__c.Name}& 00N40000002HvWZ="CRB"

  • Try the below code /a02/e?retURL=%2F{!A__c.Id}& aid = {!A__c.Id} & RecordTypeId='01240000000M828'& 00N40000002Hvox="Active"& 00N40000003BOiQ={!A__c.Name}& 00N40000002HvWZ="CRB"

  • You might want to consider creating a publisher action and using that instead.

For custom button's I would recommend using the following formatting in order to better sort and understand what is being passed. This is an example for a new case:

/500/e?
retURL={!Case.Id}
&RecordType=012600000005Iko
&ent=Case
&cas4={!Case.Account}
&cas4_lkid={!Case.AccountId}

The other thing to make sure is that you do not have any spaces in your URL code.

As a follow-up to the comment below I created this JS button and it seems to work (just POC):

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")} 
var Status = '{!Case.Status}'; 
if(Status == "New") {window.location = "/500/e?retURL={!Case.Id}&RecordType=012C0000000I8IL&ent=Case"}
else if(Status == "Closed") {window.location = "/500/e?retURL={!Case.Id}&RecordType=012C0000000I8IL&ent=Case"}

I would check to make sure you need those %2f forward slashes in the URL.

  • Thank you It worked. Is it possible to update a field based on the status of a record? I need to pass the above values only if status is "New" for a record in Object A if status is Working then i need to pass different values, is it possible? i guess this can be done through java script but can you throw some light?

  • My recommendation for that is to use a hidden formula field that does the logic evaluation and creates the URL based on that logic. Let me know if that makes sense and if not I can put together an example.

  • @ eric clay how would we pass the formula into url , shouldn't the java script button would be easy if we use IF statements?

  • I am assuming the button "Content type" is "URL".

The best place to learn about Global Publisher Actions, which will do what you desire, is by referring to the "Introducing Publisher Actions" Section of Chapter 8 in the Force.com Platform Fundamentals Workbook.
