Trigger on case to update its related account name

Hi, I have created a trigger on case to update its related account name when I create a new case, but I am not sure about my code.Please help.



trigger modalAccount on Case (after insert) {
    
    Set<id> cas = new Set<id>();
    List <Case> ca = [SELECT AccountId,id From Case Where id in:trigger.new];
    for(Case c:ca ){
    cas.add(c.AccountId);
        }
    List<Account> acc = [Select Name From Account Where id in: cas];
    for(Account temp:acc){
        ca.AccountId=temp.Name;
    }

}



Thanks & Regards

Hi Suhaas,

Can I know what you want the account name to be updated to? I have written the code below to update the Account name to some text fied.
  
trigger modalAccount on Case (after insert) {
    
    Set<id> cas = new Set<id>();
    List<Account> acclist = new List<Account>();
   
    for(Case c:Trigger.new ){
    cas.add(c.AccountId);
        }
    List<Account> acc = [Select id, Name From Account Where id in: cas];
    for(Account temp:acc){
temp.Name='sample Account Name';
      acclist.add(temp);  
    }

    update acclist;
}
 

Let me know if you face any issues.

When I create a new case inside account record I need the case to come under that account record.

Hi Suhas,

Do you meant to add the Case number to Account Name. Can you clarify more with an example so I can provide the solution.

Thanks,

I have created a custom modal which have only reason, description, priority and type in account object, so when i click on save case record is created on case object, now I need the case Account name to be same as the account record where I create the case.
