John Neilan 18 Pass Account ID Using URLFOR
I have a Visualforce Page that uses the standard Contact controller with a controller extension. The page is embedded on the Contact record layout and displays a related list of a custom object that has a master-detail to the Contact and Account records.
I am trying to create a custom button on the embedded VF page to create a new record that pre-populates the associated Contact and Account (from the Contact) IDs to 2 lookup fields on the custom object record. I am using a CommandButton with !URLFOR($Action attributes to open the new record creation page (in Lightning), however, I cannot figure out how to get the Account pre-populated and then redirect back to the contact record once saved.
The line below opens the pop-up and pre-populated the Contact ID, but I need to select the Account and then it directs to the new record created, not the original Contact record. Is it possible to do what I am trying to do with a CommandButton?

<div style="margin-left: 30%;">
<apex:commandButton action="{!URLFOR($Action.Type__c.New)}" value="New Type" oncomplete="window.open('/{ContactId}&retURL=(ContactId}')"/>
</div>
Yes, whatever you are trying to do with CommandButton is correct, onComplete is generally used like this. Verify if your URL is correct
<apex:page> <apex:form> <apex:commandButton value="Enviar" action="{!doSubmit}" oncomplete="abc();"/> </apex:form> <script> function abc() { window.location = 'https://www.google.com'; } </script> </apex:page>/go to the standard case close page without invoking the override window.parent.location.href = "{!URLFOR($Action.Case.CloseCase, Case.Id, [retURL=URLFOR($Action.Case.View, Case.Id)], true)}"If you find this information helpful, please mark this answer as Best.
