Hello,
I have the following requirement:
The customer wants to use taxonomies.
On the click of child topic "finance" a record producer should be directly opened with a prepopulated field.
On the click of child topic "business inquiry" a record producer should be directly opened with 2 prepopulated fields.
Is it possible or should I suggest a custom solution?

Hi @Kub
Use URL Parameters to Prepopulate Fields
You can launch a record producer with prefilled fields using a URL like:
/nav_to.do?uri=record_producer_name.do?sysparm_fieldname=value
Configure Taxonomy Child Topics
- In Employee Center, go to the Taxonomy setup.
- For each child topic (e.g., "Finance", "Business Inquiry"), configure the target link to point to the record producer URL with the appropriate sysparm parameters.
Identify Field Names
- Use the variable names from the record producer (not the label).
- You can find these in the catalog item’s variable configuration.
Example Setup
- Finance Topic → Opens record producer with one field prepopulated:
/nav_to.do?uri=sc_cat_item.do?sys_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&sysparm_field1=Finance
- Business Inquiry Topic → Opens record producer with two fields prepopulated:
/nav_to.do?uri=sc_cat_item.do?sys_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&sysparm_field1=Business&sysparm_field2=Inquiry
