custom formula field -hyperlink
I have this custom formula field on the task object.
Formula is;
HYPERLINK("/"& WhatId, 'Detail Link')
Displayed as
Link: Detail Link
I want to display the actual account name instead of "Detail Link"
Is there any way to change the script to achieve this?
Try this:
HYPERLINK("/"& WhatId, Account.Name)
All Answers
Try this:
HYPERLINK("/"& WhatId, Account.Name)
Is WhatId specific to activities?
Yes it is.
Where do you find that? I'm trying to do the following:
Create a new follow up record (custom object) from a placement record (custom object).
Map two fields from the placement object to the new follow up record (Contact ID and Placement ID).
Map two fields from the contact object to the follow up record (Next CE Milestone, Next CE Milestone Date).
The record type for the next follow up should be “continuous employment”.
I know I need to create a hyperlink formula to do this. I’ve already started: HYPERLINK("a06/e?RecordType=012500000000tUy", "New CE Follow Up")
This links to a follow up record, continuous employment record type.
Can you help me out with this?
