Aaron Hill Updating a Picklist Using an OnClick JavaScript Button
I have a custom object called "Invoice" and a button called "Send Invoice" in this object. When it's clicked I use a URL hack to send bring up an email template. Here is the URL hack:
Below that I want to put logic so that a couple fields within the view of the object are updated. One field is a picklist value: "Payment Status". The other field is a simple date field that I need to be updated with the day that the cutton is clicked, so I think I need to use TODAY().
My question: can I use merge fields for this or do I have to use an AJAX toolkit? Here is the merge field I was trying to use:
But when I put it in there, the field does not update at all. If I have to use an AJAX toolkit could you please explain how I should structure it? I was looking at a lot of different examples but I couldn't seem to translate any of them to my situation. Either the page just reloaded without updating or I was given an error.
Any help would be greatly apprecited.
Best,
Aaron
