Chris Benenati url arguments in detail page button
I am looking at some some detail page buttons that were coded by a long-gone Salesforce admin.
One is for behavior “Display in existing window without sidebar or header”, and the Button URL is defined as:
/{!$ObjectType.Contact}/e?
CF00NU0000003Ibi4={!hhs__Households__c.Name}
& CF00NU0000003Ibi4_lkid={!hhs__Households__c.Id}
& CF00NU0000003IbiH={!hhs__Households__c.hhs__Screening_ID__c}
& CF00NU0000003IbiH_lkid={!hhs__Households__c.hhs__Screening_IDId__c}
& RecordType=012U0000000QB2I
& retURL=/{!hhs__Households__c.Id}
Another is for behavior “Execute JavaScript”, and the OnClick Javascript is defined as:
window.location =
"/{!$ObjectType.Contact}/e?
00N1a000003CYdw={!Household__c.Name}
& 00N1a000003CYe6={!Household__c.Id}
& RecordType=0121a000000LHEw
& retURL=/{!Household__c.Id}";
I am assuming that the long cryptic alphanumeric strings are field and record identifiers.
How were they arrived at, and how can I find out exactly what records/fields the refer to?

So there is no way to find out what field the ID in the Button code refers to, short of searching through all the possible target fields? The writer of the code really should have included comments identifying them. I have to redeploy to a new org where the IDs will be different.
