Hi Satheesh,

 

Can you please share your trigger which you have written?

So that I can analyze.

 

Thanks

I solved this by creating a custom field "Assign To" on the Lead object.
I then used a trigger to force the new owner when the Lead was created:

trigger ChangeOwner on Lead (before insert) {

 for(Lead theNewLead: Trigger.New)
 {
    
    if (theNewLead.Assign_To__c != null){
     theNewLead.Ownerid=theNewLead.Assign_To__c;
     }
 }

}

Test code for this is:

@isTest(seeAllData=false)
private class TestChangeLeadOwnerTrigger
{
    static testMethod void TestLead()
    { 
       Lead testLead = new Lead();
       testLead.Lastname ='Test Name';
       testLead.Company ='Test Co';
       testLead.Assign_To__c = '[your user's id here]';
       insert testLead;
    }
}

Hi Niven, Here’s my trigger code. Feel free to remove the debug lines. trigger ChangeOwner on Lead (before insert,before update) { for(Lead theNewLead: Trigger.New) { system.debug('was '+theNewLead.Ownerid); system.debug('attempt change to '+theNewLead.Assign_To__c); if (theNewLead.Assign_To__c != null){ theNewLead.Ownerid=theNewLead.Assign_To__c; system.debug('changed'); } } } Best regards, Dave.
