How to open a main form in Modal Dialog when clicked on New Record in Look up field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Himanshu_Sharma 20

I am trying to achieve this functionality of opening up modal dialog when I am on a lookup field.

Step 1: Go to a lookup field

Step 2: Click the search icon and at the bottom of the drop down, select the "New record"

Step3: Currently it opens up a quick create form

I want the main form to open up in modal dialog.

Additional Information:

Currently I am able able to open a Modal dialog (Main form in read only) through java script when I click on any specific record displayed by the lookup. But as I said earlier, I want the same functionality when I try to create a new record.

I have the same question (0)

    Not related to modal dialog but if you want to prevent opening another window, you can create a 'quick create' form for the entity in question.  When you click on the new button from lookup/subgrid, it will open in a pane right-hand side. Maybe it is a better solution.

    I have the quick create form currently opening for the entity in question (Account entity). I was exploring to open the main form as a Dialog in create mode.

    But then that "Form Open" should trigger once a user selects the "new" link/button on lookup field.

    Got it. So, you dont want quick create form to open. I am afraid there is not much we can do here.
