ERROR:Expression cannot be assigned

Hello,

I want to assign  like line 3, i have error 
sObject sObj = new QuoteLineItem();
sObject s = new ContractLineItem();

s.get(fieldToCompare) = sObj.get(fieldToCompare);   //ERROR:Expression cannot be assigned
Can someone help me to achieve this use case ?

thanks in advance

Hi,
Please try like below.

sObject sObj = new QuoteLineItem();
sObject s = new ContractLineItem();

// from your below line; what i understood is: you want to set value.
//s.get(fieldToCompare) = sObj.get(fieldToCompare);
s.put(fieldToCompare, sObj.get(fieldToCompare));

// if you want to compare
// Assumption 'fieldToCompare' type is String.
String contractLineItemVal = (String)s.get(fieldToCompare);
String quoteLineItemVal = (String)sObj.get(fieldToCompare);

if(contractLineItemVal.equalsIgnoreCase(quoteLineItemVal)){
// equals
}else{
//not equals
}
 
Regards,

You can do it the way you're doing it - just use the comparison operator (==) rather than the assignment operator (=):

<pre>
sObject sObj = new QuoteLineItem();
sObject s = new ContractLineItem();
 
s.get(fieldToCompare) == sObj.get(fieldToCompare);   //NOTE: "=="
</pre>

If you're trying to assign one value to the other:

<pre>
sObject sObj = new QuoteLineItem();
sObject s = new ContractLineItem();
 
s.put(fieldToCompare, sObj.get(fieldToCompare);   // copy one field value into another field
</pre>

I left out a ')' on line 4.

<pre>
sObject sObj = new QuoteLineItem();
sObject s = new ContractLineItem();
  
s.put(fieldToCompare, sObj.get(fieldToCompare));   // copy one field value into another field
</pre>
