ghttheq asked:


Here is what I want to do:
I created a custom field – ID, which I have as a text field right now.
I created a custom field – ID Form, which is a forumula.
ID Form is a hyperlink to an external page, using the ID field as a merge.
So for example, if ID is 1234
the hyperlink created for ID Form is: http://www.myco.com/1234

… The problem is, Salesforce displays this as two separate fields on the Cases screen after the case is created and a value for ID is entered.
What I want to do is merge the fields or make them dependant-
So when I enter 1234 on the new case screen for ID, and click save,
I don’t want to see “ID Form” at all. I want to see the ID Form link come up in the ID field.
(Basically I want to convert the text I enter- 1234, into http://www.myco.com/1234 when the save button is clicked.)
I’m new to HTML and have no idea about s-controls or anything, so a complete rundown of what I would need to do would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
