Are you creating new content OR uploading new content ?

I've created a form in share-config-custom.xml for abcroductContent and abcroduct. I've a dashlet which shows the details (properties) of the abcroduct object. In that dashlet I've a "Create Product Content" button. When I click on it, it is forwarded to create-content?destination=some-folder-path&itemId=abcroductContent. Here in this create content page I would like to populate abcroductNumber field with the value of productId value shown in the dashlet.
Is this possible to achieve?

Yes. You can override share-form-config.xml, put your custom field (abcroductNumber) here. And make it non-editable (can be by read-only="true").
Secondly, passing your productNo. can be done by appending it in url (create-content?destination=some-folder-path&itemId=abcroductContent&productNumber=123)
and then set the value in the field.
Have a look at create-content-mgr.js (tomcat\webapps\share\components\create-content\create-content-mgr.js) where you can get the value from the url.

It worked. Thank you. I appended the url and then populated the value using context properties.
