I am trying to use a global action popup to add a new contact to an account from my account detail page. I would like the new contact popup to pre-populate with the billing address from the account (section b) and Name and other details to be empty so I can enter them. 

Is this possible? I could not find a video or tutorial for this. 
Thx 
Andy

Yup. A couple easy options.

  1. Set a Condition on the contact model for AccountID to be the Id value of the Account Model.

  2. Sel Create New Row Action from your action framework. You then have another button that renders to add default values.

Pat,
Are you suggestion the green ‘+’ to add a row and then a row action to pop up an edit window?
not really following you after the filter on the contact model.

I gave you two options on how to achieve the same result. By condition on the contact or by setting the default value on the create row action using {{$Model…



I think I am getting it… I am watching a video from Zach on action framework.


I have it so the pop up opens and pre-populates what I need. When I click Save in the pop-up it does not close, but appears to show a new empty pop-up window.

Did I miss something that will close the window on save?




The popup needs to have custom actions. The Save/Cancel in a field editor doesn’t have the ability to do any action framework stuff. Disable those buttons.

Add a page title component to the popup. On the page title component you can add some buttons. In there you can set all the appropriate actions.

  1. Show Message and block UI
  2. Save Model
  3. Close Popup
  4. Unblock UI


Was just getting to this.
Thanks for all your help!!!


Pat,
