  Hello Jeff,

  Please use the following js-code to open the specific New form of your related list and to pass additional parameters:

  // Put here the link to the specific New form and pass additional parameters ('test' in my case):
  var newFormUrl = '/sites/spform/Lists/Countries/NewForm.aspx?test=1';
  
  // Next 3 lines are required to open form in a dialog.
  var uri = new URI(newFormUrl);
  var url = uri.getLastPathSegment();
  g_useDialogAlwaysList.push(url.toLowerCase());
  
  // Here we replace the standard 'New item' link with our custom link:
  $('.ms-list-addnew a').attr('onclick', 'NewItem2(event, "' + newFormUrl + '");return false;');

  We have the related creating as expected but can't seem to get any other fields to populate on the related items form. Even if I try to set the value of a text field with the following, only the Company field get the ID, the Textfield gets nothing.

   

  var parentID = fd.getSourceID()
  fd.field('Textfield').control().value("Hello")
  if (parentID) {
  fd.field('Company').control().value(parentID);
  $('.company-field').hide();
  }

  [#4]: Please, check if there are any javascript errors in your browser console. Make sure that 'Textfield' is internal name of your field.
