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

[lucia digirolamo]

Also Assets module has the same functionality: if you're on organization 
panel and want to create an assets from the related icons, then the 
organization name of the "add asset" quick create is already filled in. 
But I cannot find anything related to the assets module that indicates 
such behaviour... I really don't know what else to look for...
