How to open a form through UI action and pre=populate fields on form

[Snehal13]

So my UI action opens a modal window that has a dropdown field. whatever user choses and clicks on create button in the modal button must take him to A CREATE NEW incident form and prepopulate a field on the incident form with that selected value from popup.

any tips, ideas on this

EDIT - 

Here is my ask -

From the workspace view, click on UI action button to open a dialog window. 

The  dialog popup shows few fields (assume type and short text) and has a create button.

when I select the type and fill in the short text and click on create in the dialog window. the popup must close and a workspace view new incident form must open and the type and short text must be auto populated on the landing form. 

Note - this is for workspace view and not for native UI
