Sha Syed (ID: 000000d1d407e59b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/05/2018 Great Job buddy, you saved so much IT time. We can focus on other things from the time we save from manual steps we do to save edit records. -Shareef

David Karpay (ID: 0000005d0984bbe8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/27/2018 I mainly want to create new contacts. When I do 'ctrl + shift + C' from the Account record where I want to add a contact, I get taken to a blank contact page and have to manually enter in the account myself, which adds more time that I didn't need to do when I was creating from the Account record before this plugin. Please figure out how to push the relevant fields into the record type I want to create. Thanks.
