Create record and populate parent field using a URL

[Desmo]

Hello,

Use case: Give users a quick and easy way to create a related record using a URL [hyperlink] from a list view. Link to open a form in new tab and populate the parent field.

Solution: 1) I followed and implemented a link according to Article 1. 2) Configured the URL (href) according to Article 2. I created a new string field, added the script in the Calculated Value field, and configured the URL.

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {
	return "[code]<a href='incident.do?sys_id=-1%26sysparm_query=parent=parent.sys_id' target='_blank' class='btn btn-default icon-edit'> New </a>[/code]"; 
})(current);

The above was successful except I'm struggling to populate the parent field. You'll notice I placed parent.sys_id as a place holder.

Thanks to all who respond.

Hi,

As you have created string field, I don't think it will work with HTML contents.

Instead can you please convert it to URL and make following changes?

Your calculated field script would be:

(function calculatedFieldValue(current) {
	return "incident.do?sys_id=-1&sysparm_query=parent="+current.sys_id; 
})(current);

Thanks,
