Company Name not pre-populating when using Quick Create: Contact

Company Name not pre-populating when using Quick Create: Contact

Hi Devs,

This has bugged me for a long time, and it's a simple UX design change to solve it.

Problem: Users creating Contacts not linked to Companies/Accounts

Cause: When a user creates an Opportunity where after browsing the Contacts they realise they need to create a new Contact, they press the "+ New Contact" button that takes them to the "Quick Create: Contact" form, which they complete the name and assume will associate this new Contact to the Company/Account automatically - but it doesn't.

I think any dev with a UX mindset will be able to see that this is an entirely understandable human assumption based on how the majority of other systems work.

The Fix: Pre-populate the Company/Account name when creating a Contact from within an Opportunity when using Quick Create.
