Time saving Usability tweak to Contracts: no new code needed!

In Contracts: when you want to add a Contact: it pops up the search box: bu does NOT pre-populate the Account field: so to find the person you want you have to type in some of the Account name and hit search; and then see a list of Contacts at that account.

Usability is much better if the form already searched at that Account.

The change is tiny, just add the Account name as a parameter to the URL on the Contacts button!

from:
http://demo.suiteondemand.com/index.php?module=Contacts&action=Popup&mode=single&create=true&field_to_name[]=name
to
http://demo.suiteondemand.com/index.php?module=Contacts&action=Popup&mode=single&create=true&field_to_name[]=name[color=#ff0000]&account_name_advanced=[/color]

ALSO
same applies to the Opportunities button too.
