A Sales Operations Administrator at a commercial real estate firm needs to enable real estate brokers to quickly create a related 'Property Lease' record directly from an active 'Building' custom object record page. When creating the lease, the system must automatically populate the 'Lease Status' field as 'Draft' and copy the 'City' value from the parent Building record, while allowing brokers to modify other lease details before saving. Which configuration should the administrator use to satisfy this requirement in Lightning Experience?
- Create an Object-Specific Quick Action on the Building object that creates a Property Lease record, configure Predefined Field Values for Lease Status and City, and add the action to the Building Lightning page layout.Answer
- BCreate a Global Quick Action that creates a Property Lease record, set default values using field visibility rules on the Lightning Page, and assign it to the Global Publisher Layout.
- CCreate a Custom Detail Page Link on the Property Lease object using custom JavaScript to extract field values from the Building page and insert them into the new lease form.
- DCreate a custom picklist field on the Building object to capture lease information and assign it to a new Record Type for Property Leases.
Answer
Create an Object-Specific Quick Action on the Building object that creates a Property Lease record, configure Predefined Field Values for Lease Status and City, and add the action to the Building Lightning page layout.
Object-Specific Quick Actions are designed specifically for creating child or related records directly from a parent record context. They allow administrators to define default values through Predefined Field Values using static values (such as 'Draft') or formulas that pull data directly from the parent record (such as copying the Building's City).
