Apex code issue unexpected error

Hi

I have the Apex code and have no idea about Apex code or triggers so I can't solve any issues that appear. I get this error when creating a new record.

Apex trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: DOUM_SetTermsConditions: execution of BeforeInsert caused by: System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object: Trigger.DOUM_SetTermsConditions: line 4, column 1

Any ideas as to how I can fix it? 
trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions on DOUM_Version__c (before insert, before update) {
Map<Id,Id> cases = new Map<Id,Id>();
    List<DOUM_Version__c> listGL = new List<DOUM_Version__c>();
    listGL = [Select DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name, DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c from DOUM_Version__c where Id In: trigger.newMap.keySet() AND DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c <> null];
    for(DOUM_Version__c objGL: listGL)
    {
        cases.put(objGL.id,objGL.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name);
    }
    for (DOUM_Version__c a : Trigger.new)
    {
        if(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c != null)
        {
            a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c = cases.get(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c);
        }
    }
}

Hi Matthew,

Try this , 
trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions on DOUM_Version__c (before insert, before update) {
Map<Id,Id> cases = new Map<Id,Id>();
    List<DOUM_Version__c> listGL = new List<DOUM_Version__c>();
    listGL = [Select DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name, DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c from DOUM_Version__c where Id In: trigger.newMap.keySet() AND DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c <> null];
if(listGL !=null && ! listGL.isempty()){ 
    for(DOUM_Version__c objGL: listGL)
    {
        cases.put(objGL.id,objGL.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name);
    }
}
    for (DOUM_Version__c a : Trigger.new)
    {
        if(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c != nul && cases.containskey(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c))
        {
            a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c = cases.get(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c);
        }
    }
}

Let me know if this works or not.

It doesnt work i still get this error unfortunately
  
Apex trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: DOUM_SetTermsConditions: execution of BeforeInsert caused by: System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object: Trigger.DOUM_SetTermsConditions: line 4, column 1

What I want to happen is I have a filtered lookup field on the object DOUM_Version looking upon an object called DOUM_Terms_Conditions. The lookup field is called "DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c" 

The terms and conditions object has fields: (Label-Name[API]-Type)

"Terms & Conditions V" - Name - Auto Number (Unique Primary ID)
"Active Date" - DOUM_TCs_A_D__c - Date
"Approval Status" - DOUM_TCs_Approval_Status__c - Picklist
"Retired Date" - DOUM_TCs_RD__c - Date
"Terms & Conditions" - DOUM_TCsContent__c - Rich Text Area

The filter on the lookup basically looks for the only record that doesnt have a retirement date. 

I was wondering if it may be the filter that is breaking this trigger?

Try this, 
trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions on DOUM_Version__c (before insert, before update) {
Map<Id,Id> cases = new Map<Id,Id>();
    List<DOUM_Version__c> listGL = new List<DOUM_Version__c>();
try{    
listGL = [Select DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name, DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c from DOUM_Version__c where Id In: trigger.newMap.keySet() AND DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c <> null];
}catch(exception e){
 system.debug(e.getmessage());
}
if(listGL !=null && ! listGL.isempty()){ 
    for(DOUM_Version__c objGL: listGL)
    {
        cases.put(objGL.id,objGL.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__r.Name);
    }
}
    for (DOUM_Version__c a : Trigger.new)
    {
        if(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c != nul && cases.containskey(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c))
        {
            a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c = cases.get(a.DOUM_Terms_Conditions__c);
        }
    }
}

I dont think It's the filter. Error is on Line 4 Column 1, Which is a SOQL statement.

Try above then we will see what else can be done .

Error: Invalid Data. 
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Apex trigger DOUM_SetTermsConditions caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: DOUM_SetTermsConditions: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by: System.StringException: Invalid id: Terms & Conditions V01: External entry point

I now get this error. This strikes me as it's trying to pull a record ID but receiving the unique name which is "Terms & Conditions V01"

We made progress

Kindest regards

Matt
