List<Project__c> permitProjectsToCreate = new List<Project__c>();
Project_Template__c permitTemplate;
public void initialize( String sObjectName ){
List<Id> permitIds = new List<Id>();
for Permit__c permit: trigger.New)
{
permitIds.add (permit.id);
}
if( Trigger.isAfter && this.permitTemplate == null ){
List<Project_Template__c> templates = [
SELECT Id FROM Project_Template__c WHERE Name =: 'Permit Project' LIMIT 1
];
if( !templates.isEmpty() ){
this.permitTemplate = templates[ 0 ];
}
}
}
public void afterInsert( SObject so ){
Permit__c newPermit = ( Permit__c ) so;
if( permitTemplate != null ){
permitProjectsToCreate.add( new Project__c(
Permit__c = so.Id,
ProjectTemplate__c = permitTemplate.Id
));
}
}
public void andFinally(){
if( Trigger.isInsert && !this.permitProjectsToCreate.isEmpty() ){
insert this.permitProjectsToCreate;
permitIds.project__c =
permitProjectsToCreate.id
}
}
You call can andFinally method in
public void afterInsert( SObject so ){
Permit__c newPermit = ( Permit__c ) so;
if( permitTemplate != null ){
permitProjectsToCreate.add( new Project__c(
Permit__c = so.Id,;
ProjectTemplate__c = permitTemplate.Id
));
this.andFinally();
}
What ever I underLined ,Please Add to you code.

In your code, your are try to insert project and update permit record in andfinally method. In andfinally methode your updating list of permit records, because of that only your getting error , you can't get lookup field in list of record.
Please change code while updating permit records.
I prepared this code for update permit records inside andfinally method,
For( permit__c ins:permitsIds){
ins.project__c=peritProjectsToCreate.Id;
}
The Id is is stil throwing 'Variable does not exist: Id ' error. Any ideas?
Is the for loop inside the if statement?
Hi,
Id error Becuease of permitProjectsToCreate is a list. You can not get Id from permitProjectsToCreate. So your are using single Parent Record I mean Only one Project record So you can make
Project__c permitProjectsToCreate =new Project__c(); in Place of list<Projecct__c> permitProjectsToCreate =new list<Project__c>();
For( permit__c ins:permitsIds){
ins.project__c=peritProjectsToCreate.Id;
}
Do I need ti declare a new refrence? When I modify the refernce from list<Projecct__c> permitProjectsToCreate =new list<Project__c>() to
list<Projecct__c> permitProjectsToCreate =new list<Project__c>() I get errors when for the insert.
Thank you,

See permitProjectsToCreate is reference to list<Projects__c>. There your are store a list Of Project records, either your store a single records also, it will stored in form of List only. So You can not get Id attribute from list. So you need use single instace.Do not use list<Projecct__c> permitProjectsToCreate =new list<Project__c>() to store a single Record. Use
Project__c instance= new Project__c(
Permit__c = so.Id,
ProjectTemplate__c = permitTemplate.Id
);
public void andFinally(){
if( Trigger.isInsert ){
insert instance;
permitIds.project__c = instance.id;
}
Thank you for the reply. Only issue I am having now is that I get an error 'Variable does not exist: project__c'
Thank you,

Hi,
Now go to object manager and go to permit__c object and go to fields, in fields checks api name of lookup field of project__c in permit_,c object and use same api name in apex also then you will slove problem. I think it will work
I believe the field api name is correct. I even tried other fields and I get the same error.
Thanks,
P
I understand , in permitId list your are adding only ids from trigger, So you collect permit objects like
List<permit__c> permitIds = new List<permit_ _c>();
for Permit__c permit: trigger.New)
{ permitIds.add (permit);
}
Change above code then it will properly. I think after this it work.
Still not working. Maybe create another method from the andFinally method to do update?
You call can andFinally method in
public void afterInsert( SObject so ){
Permit__c newPermit = ( Permit__c ) so;
if( permitTemplate != null ){
permitProjectsToCreate.add( new Project__c(
Permit__c = so.Id,;
ProjectTemplate__c = permitTemplate.Id
));
this.andFinally();
}
