field from previous opportunities

Dear Team,
when creating a new Opportunity record for a specific account, I would need to access the value of a custom field from the most recent closed-won opportunity of a certain deal type. 

What would be the best approach here? Building an Opportunity Trigger and use SOQL to access the most recent opportunity? 
 

Thank you.

Hi Giancarlo Amati,

Here you need to update a field on Opportunity while creating a record so the best approach is to create a trigger.

Below code will help you: 
trigger TriggerName on Opportunity (before insert) {

    Map<Id,Account> accOppMap= new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT Id, (SELECT customField__c FROM Opportunities where stageName= 'CLosedWon' Order By lastmodifiedDate DESC LIMIT 1) FROM Account]);

    For(Opportunity opp: trigger.new){
      
	if(accOppMap.get(opp.AccountId).Opportunities.Size()>0){
	}
	    opp.customField__c= accOppMap.get(opp.AccountId).Opportunities[0].customField__c;
	
	}
                     
  
 }
Mark as solved if found helpful.

Thanks
