changing Name of custom record
I can change the value of fields in a custom record no problem, on an initialise record script. However, I also want to change the 'Name' field.
I have tried setting the value of Name, recordname etc etc but to no avail.
Is this possible and what is the name/reference of the field? Clicking on the field name does not give the name of the field in the help pop up, as it normally does.
We are only using Name because we cannot select ID or internal ID in an online form for a custom record. We can pass this as a parameter in the email URL to the form, but the form does nto recognise it (or do we need to use an html form?).
