Hi all.
I have a need to open a Jobs list form, then launch a New Item form from another list (Service Request). I need to populate about half a dozen person/people fields in the Service Request new item with names from same type of fields in the Jobs form.
Is there a simple no-code way to do that?
Thanks.

I figured out how to make the new item in the SR list. It’s quite simple with workflow. NOW what I’d like to do is:
Open the Edit Item Form on the item that was just created in the Service Request list. I don’t see any actions in the workflow that will allow me to open a URL before ending the workflow.
Is there a simple way to do this? I have included a column in the SR list that stores the ID of the Jobs list item that was used to populate the fields in the SR list.
Well you can use a workflow, but workflows can’t check the value of people picker fields. Â One thing I have done to work around this is create almost duplicate fields for the people picker fields in the list. Â I hide those duplicate fields. Â I then use the workflow to first set the duplicate fields to the value of the people picker field, but use string as the data type. Â When I have my workflow check to see if the people picker field is populated, I actually have it check the corresponding duplicate field. Â Then I use the workflow to set the people picker field in one list to the corresponding people pickeer field in the source list.
