Hello,

I have a requirement to prepopulate fields from a UI action to a new record. The UI action creates a new shell record that is not saved until it has been filled out. Now, I need to prepopulate the fields from my current record to the new record. How can I do this? There are several fields that need to be prepopulated on the shell record. 

Another thing I may have difficulty doing is matching reference fields sys_ids. Both the current record (record we are creating the new record from) and the new record, are in 2 different scoped apps that do not use the same references. For those, I will need to pass the display value to the URL so that I can prepopulate the new record.

thanks!

Hi,

I'd say that within your UI action you will need to construct the URL with parameters.

Please feel free and refer to the below links:
