Open a new record with setting form values for regardingobjectid will not work. So, in that case, the Workaround? Here we go:

Open Form Script

//set the parameters to pass to the new form

var parameters = {};

var Regarding = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“regardingobjectid”).getValue();

parameters["parameter_regardingid"] = Regarding[0].id;

parameters["parameter_regardingname"] = Regarding[0].name;

parameters["parameter_regardingtype"] = Regarding[0].entityType;

//Open the new form

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(“appointment”,null,parameters);

onLoad Script for new form which needs to be opened:

// Get the Value of the Regarding through the Customer Parameters

var param=Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters();

var regardingId=param["parameter_regardingid"];

var regardingName=param["parameter_regardingname"];

var regardingType=param["parameter_regardingtype"];

//Populate the Regarding if there is one

if (regardingId != undefined)

  {Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“regardingobjectid”).setValue([{id:regardingId, name:regardingName, entityType:regardingType}]);}
