[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger 7 - related quick create form for custom module - field not automatically filled in

[lucia digirolamo]

So far I've been only able to understand that the quick create form is 
handled by the reference.tpl which populates the popupReferenceModule 
input based on $FIELD_VALUE. In my case, var=FIELD_VALUE 
value=$FIELD_MODEL->get('fieldvalue') is empty. How can I populate this 
value?
