Hello,
I have a situation where I have a relationship between two objects (A-B) (1-M) and I would like to get the view page ID of a record in object A such that when I create a new record in object B from the View page of record A, I can perform certain tasks pertaining to where I come from. Could you possibly suggest as to how I can detect which view page I am coming from? Looking forward to your suggestions.
Cheers.
Hello,
What do you want to do with the view page ID? Do you want to store it in a record of object B? In a view page, you can look into the url and you will see the pageID parameter. The parameter's value can also be seen if you go to the object definition page > pages > click the view page link and will see the view page id at the bottom part of the screen. You can extract the pageID value by using a javascript code that extracts the parameter value. Put the script in the page you want to extract the parameter value from.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Gian

Could you please post the complete answer?

Hello,
May I ask first what exactly are you planning to do? Do you want to replace the default new button on the list view? Or do you want to create your own new button?
Thanks,
