Setting predefined value on newly created form

[Dotychczas]

Hello experts, 

I'm trying to create new record from related list and set some predefined values on the form. I copied "New" ui action:

in line 8 I'm trying to set value of audit field but after running this ui action I get info message saying "Record not found". What am I doing wrong?

@Dotychczas 

this should give you the url and it should contain the parameter

var url = top.location.href;

Glad that you got the solution.

Did you mistakenly marked other response as correct?

The approach of determining the url and using onLoad client script was shared first by me.

You can mark only 1 response as correct.

I am not against marking other response as correct

The other guy pointed out that Isolate script need to be unchecked but you are right you well deserved it.

Kind Regards

This is strange actually. Sharing a script but did that got you to a solution will be something to check before marking the answer as correct.

I am also not against marking the other response as correct here, just sharing my view on this.

Leaving up to you to decide the best here as there can be only 1 solution.

Hi @Dotychczas 

Please use the script below which is a tested one and works great in my PDI.

Please write a On Load Client Script on the Table where you want to set the value or prefill it.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var getURL = window.location.href;
	alert(getURL);
	
	if(g_form.isNewRecord() && getURL.indexOf('sys_is_related_list=true')>-1){
		g_form.setValue('short_description','test');
	}
}

Make sure to uncheck "Isolate field" checkbox on Client script form as shown below:

This should work for you as well and set the fields you want.

Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.
