John Cleveland Trigger to copy parent child to custom parent child objects
I have Custom Object A and Custom Object B which is a child of A.
I also have Custom Object C and Custom Object D which is a child of C.
When records are created in Custom Object A and B, I need to copy values from A and B to C and D. I have a trigger to copy A to C but need help with adding code to copy B to D. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated.

trigger createCFromA on Custom_Object_A (after insert, after update) {
Id RecTypeId = [Select Id from RecordType where name = 'recordtype' and sObjectType = 'Custom_Object_C' limit 1].Id;
List <Custom_Object_C> cToInsert = new List <Custom_Object_C>();
for (Custom_Object_A a : Trigger.new){
if (a.Status__c == 'New' ) {
Custom_Object_C c = new Custom_Object_C ();
c.Field_1__c = a.Field_1__c;
c.Field_2__c = a.Field_2__c;
c.Field_3__c = a.Field_3__c;
c.RecordTypeId = RecTypeId;
cToInsert.add(c);
}
}
try {
insert bToInsert;
}
catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
system.debug (e);
}
}
bToInsert is not populated anywhere.
you can write similar trigger on Object B to copy it to Object D,
So there's no way to do it in one trigger? If I do another trigger on object b how would it know to make the parent id the one the records should link to in object C. I'll also need to copy attachments from object A to object C.
Trigger event will fire when your dml event(after insert) occurs, So Ideally parentId will alreay be populating.
For copying attachment you need to write a another trigger on Attachment object.
Hope it will give you some Ideas to go ahead :)
