Thanks Nagendra,

Any way to do this using apex only? Suppose I don't want to create a process builder.

Thanks,

Hi All,

If you don't want to create a new process. You can do the following.

1. Create a new text field with default value as today
2. And mark this field as unique

on the parent record.

1. When the first record is created the value would be updated with today's date
2. When the second record is created the record will not get created giving the Data Uniqueness Violation

Hope it helps
