Create Custom Cloning Button - New Admin

Question

I am relatively new to salesforce and administration. I am trying to create a custom cloning button that checks against the user profile name.

I am using URL as content source.

if({$Profile.Name}="System Administrator") {
    /{!Opportunity.Id}/e?clone=1
}

Answer 1

You are nearly there. Try this:

if('{!$Profile.Name}'=='System Administrator') {
    window.location = '/{!Opportunity.Id}/e?clone=1';
}

Note the differences

• I am using the salesforce token evaluation syntax {!} around the !Profile.Name var. If you don't do this, it won't be evaluated by Salesforce.
• Also, I have enclosed that whole expression in quotes - we are comparing strings.
• Finally, I am using Javascript to redirect, so you need to use the window.location command to redirect.

This is tested and works for an onclick Javascript button.
