Someone from the customer service team got back to me on the support case and helped me answer my question. For context and completion of this thread I wanted to share what they helped me figure out...Just in case anyone else is looking for this answer. What I needed to get to was the related field between the two tables. I was trying to create a button that converted an applicant to an employee. To reduce data entry I wanted it to carry through the information, such as first name, last name, primary contact phone number, etc. I wanted those fields to come through so that I could write dynamic form rules to populate those fields automatically. Additionally I only needed a form on the employee table that had necessary fields so I created a form that was abbreviated. So the challenge was creating a Formula URL button that carried the information from the existing table to the new table and utilized the specific form that I had created. I accomplished this by locating the reference proxy field id and added to the formula that I put in my original post. Thus my formula above turned into this:
URLRoot() & "db/bj68rdvfx?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_133=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])&"&dfid=10" & "&z=" & Rurl()
I did learn that this does not work without the = sign at the end of the fid. Not sure why but it is needed or it will not work. Hope this helps someone else out as much as it helped me!
