Custom button to change fields

Hi all,

Is there a way I can create a button that once clicked, will update a picklist field called Stage__c to the value 'Recieved' and a date/time field called Recieved_Date__c to the the exact date and time the button was pressed? 

I think this can be done through Javascript but help would be apreciated.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Yes you can do it using a custom button the.

Apex Class: 
global class MyClass
{
    webservice static void myMethod() // you can pass parameters
    { 
         // Do something
    }
}



Javascript button code:
  
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/20.0/apex.js")}

sforce.apex.execute("MyClass","myMethod",{acc_id:"{!fieldapiname}"});
location.reload(true);

Let me know if it helps you.

Thanks,

You need to use Controller Extention to achieve this. Please try below code.
  
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" extensions="AutoFillExten"
	docType="html-5.0">
	<apex:form>

		<apex:commandButton action="{!action1}" value="AutoFill"
			reRender="pgeBlk" />

		<apex:pageBlock id="pgeBlk">
			<apex:pageblocksection id="pgeBlkSec">

				<apex:selectList value="{!item}" multiselect="false" size="1">
					<apex:selectOptions value="{!items}" />
				</apex:selectList>
				<p />


			</apex:pageblocksection>
		</apex:pageBlock>
	</apex:form>
</apex:page>
  
public class AutoFillExten {

	private final Opportunity opp;
	public String item;
	public Date date1;

	public AutoFillExten(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
		this.opp=(Opportunity)controller.getRecord();
	}

	public List<SelectOption> getItems() {
		List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
		options.add(new SelectOption('Prospecting','Prospecting'));
		options.add(new SelectOption('Qualification','Qualification'));
		options.add(new SelectOption('Recieved','Recieved'));

		return options;
	}
	public String getitem()
	{
		return item;
	}
	public void setitem(String item)
	{
		this.item=item;
	}



	public void action1()
	{
		this.item='Recieved';
	}

}

Thanks,
Naveen.
