how to pass variables from one view to another?

Question

lets say we have a module A which has a one2many field to module B and a company field.
after choosing company in the form view from module A we click on "Add an Item" to add an item to the one2many field, which opens the view form from module B.
how can I e.g. automatically set the company in module B to the same which was selected in view from module A?
thank you.

*context*

You probably want something like context="{'company_id':company_id}" and this would go on the field that represents the one2many relationship

thanks, another thing we need is the following:
_defaults = {
'a_field' : lambda self, cr, uid, context : context['a_field'] if context and 'a_field' in context else None
}
