Thanks Hassan. Sorry I did not give the context: these links are used by another, external app (say app B). A user of app B can trigger the creation of a record in App A, and it needs to pass some default parameters. So I don't believe I can use the standard method of using hidden fields, can I?
So the idea really is: how can you create entry points to an app where these entry points contain default parameters for the creation of a record? It seems to me these parameters HAVE to be passed with the URL, but maybe I am wrong? Thanks!
