clear text field when clone record

I have a custom object in salesforce Lightning   , there is a requirement when clone a record , all the fields are populated except one text field. I created a custom clone button that uses a hacked URL as next : 

/{!Custom_Object.Id}/e?clone=1&retURL=%2F{!Custome_Object.Id}&00Y5111111B6qjA= 



Where  Custom_Object is the API name of the custom object and 00Y5111111B6qjA is the ID of the text field. 

When i click on the customized Clone button , the value of the text field is not blank. 


Is there any suggestion ?

Hi ANAS,

First Approach:- 

 ISCLONE() function is available as a method to determine if a record is cloned in workflow.  so you need create a work flow that will check criteria 

ISCLONE() and after that you can update your fields 

Second Approach:-

First you need to create a custom field boolean type like: Is_Clone__c
Create a work flow with Criteria ISCLONE().
Update field Is_Clone__c = true.

After that Create a process builder:

if(Is_Clone__c)

then update your fields 

if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!

Kindly mark my solution as the best answer if it helps you.

Thanks
