I want to prepopulate a node reference field for content_type AAAA, while creating BBBB.

I see following in View Source of add form of BBBB

<div class="form-item">
 <label for="edit-field-aaaa-nids">AAAA: <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <select name="field_aaaa[nids]" class="form-select required" id="edit-field-aaaa-nids" ><option value="11">aaaa1111</option><option value="22">aaaa2222</option></select>
</div>

I used the following link to prepopulate.. But it didn't work
http://www.mysite.com/?q=node/add/BBBB&edit[field_aaaa][nids]=22

Am i doing something wrong

edit[group_name][field_aaaa][nids]=222

As an alternative, you can use the Custom Links module, set up a link with the nid as parameter, and add the following code to your CCK node reference field's PHP default value:

if(arg(1) == 'add'){
  return array(array('nid' => arg(3)));
}else{
  return array(array('nid' => NULL));
};

That's a really handy bit of code! It should really go into a handbook page for CCK somewhere!
