Change field value to blank when clicking the clone button on custom objects.
Is it possible when clicking the clone button on a custom object, to set certain fields to a different value or make them blank? This would force the user to pick a new date for instance. I know this can be accomplished by creating a visualforce page, but i was wondering if this can be accomplished thru the UI.
Thanks

You don't have control over the standard Clone Button. So no, you cannot have other values be blanked.
You do, however, have some options to consider.
So there are some options to consider. Each has their own pros and cons. The URL Hack could be the easiest method since it has no code involved, but it might not be very viable if you have LOTS of fields to handle. Plus, the URL hack isn't really supported.
The option I would choose would be one of the flow options depending on the specific use case.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
