trigger to validate opportunity name

Hi All,
 i want to Develop a trigger to validate that Opportunity Name should starts with this Format - AccountName :  ,
error message should be "Invalid name, Please start name with Account's Name: " - i want to Use custom label for message.
 i want that whenever new Oppportunity will be created than the naming of Opportunity should be like this - Exp:- Account name is ABC than the Opportunity name should be - ABC : 1234 OR
ABC : XYZ
if its not in this format than error message will be shown.
Any suggestions how to Achieve this?

Hi Sumit,

Greetings to you!

Please try the below code, I have tested in my org and it is working fine. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.
  
trigger OppNameBasedOnAcc on Opportunity (after insert) {
    
    List<Id> oppIds = new List<Id>();
    for (Opportunity opp:Trigger.new ){
        oppIds.add(opp.Id);
    }
    
    List<opportunity> op = new List<Opportunity>();
    
    for(Opportunity opps : [SELECT Id, Name, Account.Name FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN :oppIds]){
        if(opps.Name == opps.Account.Name + ' '+':' +' '+'1234'){
            op.add(opps);
        }
        else{
            Map<id,Opportunity> Mapjun = Trigger.newmap;
            Mapjun.get(opps.id).Name.adderror('Opportunity name should start with Accounts Name');
        }
    }       
    
    if(op.size()>0){

}
