New to Apex Triggers- Help with custom objects

Hi all, 

I am trying to create a auto populated field. We have a custom object, 'Engagement'. I want to create a new field under contacts that shows engagments that are starting soon. Ideally when an engagement has a confirmed start date that is greater than today it will be shown in this field. 

Does anyone have any advice how I could do this?

Hi

Do contact is static here ?  if it is then all the Engagement record will be under the 1 contact? If no then please elaborate the linking of contact?

Thanks

Hi Saket, 

Enagements can be linked to multiple contacts. To make an engagement you need to link it to a contact. 

Thanks,

Alice

Not sure what is the concern here. Go ahead and use Apex to update the related contacts.
