Copy attachments from child to parent

Hi All,

I need help with some code as im new to apex and salesforce.

I need to be able to have it so any file added to the service appointment will copy into the parent record (Work order) 

Any help would be really appreciated. 

Thank you!

Hi Jordan,

This is example code:-  
trigger CopyAttachments on CustomObject(after insert)

{
Attachment[] attList = [select id, name, body from Attachment where ParentId = :Trigger.new[0].Opportunity__c];
Attachment[] insertAttList = new Attachment[]{};
        for(Attachment a: attList)
        {
              Attachment att = new Attachment(name = a.name, body = a.body, parentid = Trigger.new[0].id);
              insertAttList.add(att);
        }
      if(insertAttList.size() > 0)
      {
           insert insertAttList;
      }
}

if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!

I need something more like this to copy all attachments from the service appointments to the work order.
  
trigger CopyAttachments on ServiceAppointment (before insert) {


Attachment[] attList = [select id, name, body from Attachment where ParentId = :Trigger.new[0].WorkOrder__c];
Attachment[] insertAttList = new Attachment[]{};
        for(Attachment a: attList)
        {
              Attachment att = new Attachment(name = a.name, body = a.body, parentid = Trigger.new[0].id);
              insertAttList.add(att);
        }
      if(insertAttList.size() > 0)
      {
           insert insertAttList;
      }
    
}

Thank you!
