Clear a Lookup Field syntax on custom Clone Button

Hello!

I have this custom button with the formula below. I created a new lookup field and I am strugging with what syntax would clear the value in a field on cloning. Any thoughts appreciated! It is the field in BOLD Underline below:

/{!Opportunity.Id}/e?clone=1&retURL=/{!Opportunity.Id}&cloneli=0& 
RecordType=012700000005kCm& 
opp9={!Opportunity.Next_Verbal_Date__c}&

Hi, Firstly I would avoid doing URL Hacks, as they will slowly be retired and Salesforce will not support them. With the new Lightning Experience  none of these would work.  But in your case, if you want to clear the field it should be something like _lkid which you can use

You are right, it should be a flow but at the moment I just don't have time to play with that. I ahve other Processes and Flows I am banging my head on.
So I put this in and it didn't work: 00N70000003UGGQ=_lkid& 

Is that what you meant?

No the field you are clearing out should have a name ending with _lkid, if you are using chrome you can right click and inspect element on your lookup field and you should see a name.
