The Asset field is waiting for an Asset Id. It will show the Asset name automatically. Here's what i suggest:

window.location.href="/a36/e?retURL=%2F{!Asset.Id}&assid={!Asset.Id}&Name=TBA&00NN0000002GOcY={!Asset.Name}&00NN0000002GOcY_lkid={!Asset.Id}"

  • Hello, Martin. Thanks. I tried this one but till the look up field is not populating. Instead i can see in the URL teh related asset ID "cs6.salesforce.com/a36/…" Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 8:11
  • I edited my answer. Can you try this? Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 8:16
  • Hi Martin, I tried. But till no success. Although the valus n IDs are appearing in the URL only " cs6.salesforce.com/a36/…". The look up is master-details, i hope thts not an issue. Thanks Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 8:21
  • How did you get the field Id? Using the Google Chrome console to inspect the field? Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 8:24
  • Nope, I went to the related field in the " Car Accessories" object, the API name is Asset__c for the look up field. Here i have taken the ID from the URL " cs6.salesforce.com/00NN0000002GOcY?setupid=CustomObjects". Also, if i use the standard button for new record rather than the custom button , this is the URL showing " cs6.salesforce.com/a36/…". Thnx Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 8:29
