Passing Context Information to a Record Action Create Form

Hello,

I would like to ask about passing context information from a shared interface to a Record Action create form.

Background

We have a common Record Type that is shared and used by multiple applications.
We created a common maintenance interface for this Record Type.

  Interface: COMMON_recordTypeMaint

Each application embeds this common interface to manage its own records.

  Interface: APP_recordTypeMaint

For example:

  COMMON_recordTypeMaint(
    appName: "APP1"
  )

The calling application passes its application name (appName) to the common interface.

Requirement

Within COMMON_recordTypeMaint, users can create, update, and delete records.

When a user clicks Create, a Record Action is used to open the create form for the Record Type.

The Record Type contains an appName field, and we would like this field to be automatically populated with the appName value that was passed from the calling application.

For example:

APP_recordTypeMaint
↓
XCOMMON_recordTypeMaint(appName: "APP1")
↓
Create Record Action
↓
Create Form opens
↓
appName field is automatically set to "APP1"

Question

Is there a supported way to pass values such as appName from a parent interface to a Record Action create form?
If not, what would be the recommended approach to achieve this requirement while still using Record Actions?

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Best regards,
Keizo Watsuji
