I'm looking for a way to use URL hacking to create a child record from a parent object's record, without leaving the parent object record's page.
I have the following URL for my custom detail page button, which has been created on the parent object.
/a5H/e?CF00N70000003TE86={!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Name}
&00N70000003TEAJ={!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Time_To_Record__c}
&00N70000003TEAH={!TODAY()}
&retURL=/{!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Id}
Which works fine but obviously when this is clicked, I am taken to the edit page for the new record.
I have seen this post which suggests that this functionality's not possible but I've also seen this answer which seems to suggest that it might be.
When I try to adapt the solution from the answer on post 2, using an encoded URL (adding &save=1
to the end of the above url)
/a5H/e?CF00N70000003TE86%3D%7B!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Name%7D%0A%2600N70000003TEAJ%3D%7B!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Time_To_Record__c%7D%0A%2600N70000003TEAH%3D%7B!TODAY()%7D%0A%26retURL%3D%7B!MPM4_BASE__Milestone1_Task__c.Id%7D%0A%26save%3D1
I'm just taken to the edit page of the child record and none of the fields are prepopulated.
