I'm trying to create a menue item in the navigation menue to automatically create a new org sup-type.
I thought it would work by adding a new menue item (in customize navigation menue) then giving a URL which automatically select the org sub-type I would like.  (something like this /civicrm/contact/add&ct=Organization&cst=Charity&reset=1 (but it doesn't work))

How do I manipulate the URL to do this please?

Thanks for you help

Hi Dave,

You had a post a couple of years back on modifying the default data entry screen or profile I think based on search results. I can't find it now, so I hope you remember.

I just did what mbrown was looking to do and actually went a couple of steps further. I had already created a new Contact Type "Legislative" of sub type "Organization". So when a user wanted to create a new legislative bill, they would click "Contacts", "New Organization", "New Legislative Bill". 

I have now created a new menu item in the Top Level Menu Called "Legislative" with a menu option of "New Legislative Bill"

Now to my question.

I would like to use a custom profile that I already have for front page listings, to use as the default data entry screen for new "Legislative Bill's".

I thought I saw something on this before, but I don't seem to be able to find it quickly. 

Any pointers you could throw me would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Dallas
