I have the following URL hack but it is not working any ideas? The Asset.Account is a lookup field, is that the issue?

/02i/e?CF00NW0000000mpDu={!Asset.Account}&CF00NW0000000mpDu_lkid={!Asset.AccountId}

  • Where is the button located? You are opening the Asset edit page, so this would mean that you have a button on Asset that tries to create a new Asset and puts the Asset.Account into some other custom lookup field?

Looks like "{!Asset.Account}}" contains an extra "}".

Hope this is the issue.

  • Just a post copy issue there, no }} in my actual URL

You need to do a URLENCODE of Asset.Account. It is not working because your account has a White Space, ',' that the Browser can't resolve.

Your correct URL is
/02i/e?CF00NW0000000mpDu={!URLENCODE(Asset.Account)}&CF00NW0000000mpDu_lkid={!Asset.AccountId}

  • Ok here is where I am with this now, I realized I needed to make some changes to my original , The Custom Object is Deployment, I wnt to populate the Account field when I create a new Asset record which is a related list on Deployment/02i/e?CF00NW0000000mpDu={!URLENCODE (Deployment__c.Account_Name__c)}&CF00NW0000000mpDu_lkid={!Deployment__c.Account_NameId__c}

  • you need create a cutom button in the asset object with your url => '/02i/e?CF00NW0000000mpDu={!URLENCODE (Deployment__c.Account_Name__c)}&CF00NW0000000mpDu_lkid={!Deployment__c.Account_Nam‌​eId__c}'. In the button you need specify that is a List button. After that you need modify deployment's page layout => go related list => modify and add the new button.

Missed a '+' sign between the two field values. It's always encouraged to pass the field id's dynamically to avoid problem when it's moved to production.

var url="/02i/e?CF00NW0000000mpDu={!Asset.Account}"+"&CF00NW0000000mpDu_lkid={!Asset.AccountId}"

Pass lookup field Id dynamically on button click
