Hi group. I am investigating the transition to lightning and wish to create a button that replaces JS URL redirect to automatically create a new contact on an Account with the correct record type. So far I have built the custom component, with controller code etc but I am stuck on how to create the layout with all the required contact fields? Can I somehow clone the existing new contact page layout and transcribe this to the custom component? The lightning app builder does not allow me to interrogate individual fields, and when I add them to the component code ie NewContact.cmp, the fields don't honour picklists, or existing field types such as Multi-Select or Checkboxes. Any assistance pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
you probably cannot pass the account record type, but you can create several quick actions for each of them. Not nice and some work, but it might work
