Simple code to update a file name

Following the previous question: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=9062I000000XsipQAC

Hello,

I need to update a file title after it's upload.

That is an easy trigger, but here is the catch:

On object A is a text field. Each record of object A has some value in the text field. After I upload the file to the object A's record, I need to take the value in the text field of the record and set is as a title of the newly uploaded file.

Mr. PRAKASH JADA 13 helped me with the code:
  
Hi,


Trigger:
--------------------------
trigger AttcahmentTrigger on Attachment (before insert) {
    if(Trigger.isBefore) {
        if(Trigger.isInsert) {
            AttcahmentTriggerHandler.onBeforeInsert(Trigger.New);
        }
    }
}


Trigger Handler:
----------------------------------
/*
 * Author: Prakash
 * CreatedDate: Feb 14, 20202
*/
public with sharing class AttcahmentTriggerHandler {
    public static void onBeforeInsert(List<Attachment> attachments) {
        
        List<Id> accountIds = new List<Id>();
        
        //Loop to iterate over the list of attachments        
        for(Attachment att : attachments) {
            if(att.ParentId != null) {
                accountIds.add(att.ParentId); // Preparing the account Ids
            }
        }
        
        if(!accountIds.isEmpty()) {
            // Preparing the map that holds the account Name as a value and Id as a key
            Map<Id, Account> accountMap = new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT ID, Name FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountIds]);
            
            // Loop to iterate over the list of Attachments
            for(Attachment att : attachments) {
                att.Name = accountMap.get(att.ParentId).Name;
            }
            
        }
        
    }
}
But there is another catch to it - by object A I mean object SERVICE APPOINTMENT, which does not support the Attachment object.

Help me please!

are you using content version to upload the files if that is the care you need to change your trigger from content document to content version

Hi,

Are you using ContentDocument to upload the files? If so Here is the code. else please ignore the below code.

Trigger:
-------------------

trigger AttachmentTrigger on ContentDocument (before insert) {
    if(Trigger.isBefore) {
        if(Trigger.isInsert) {
            AttcahmentTriggerHandler.onBeforeInsert(Trigger.New);
        }
    }
}


Handler:
---------------------

public with sharing class AttcahmentTriggerHandler {
    public static void onBeforeInsert(List<ContentDocument> contentDocuments) {
        
        List<Id> accountIds = new List<Id>();
        
        //Loop to iterate over the list of Content Document        
        for(ContentDocument doc : contentDocuments) {
            if(doc.ParentId != null) {
                accountIds.add(doc.ParentId); // Preparing the account Ids
            }
        }
        
        if(!accountIds.isEmpty()) {
            // Preparing the map that holds the account Name as a value and Id as a key
            Map<Id, Account> accountMap = new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT ID, Name FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountIds]);
            
            // Loop to iterate over the list of Attachments
            for(ContentDocument doc : contentDocuments) {
                doc.Title = accountMap.get(doc.ParentId).Name;
            }
            
        }
        
    }
}


I hope this helps. 

Thanks

Hello Prakash, thanks alot. I am really thankful man, I did not know that ContentDocument has ParentId which is linked to the records.

Anyways - could you help me with this - I can't upload files if I put any trigger on ContentDocument. It throws me an error when I upload any file. If I disable the trigger it starts working again. The things is that there is no error message. I'm trying the debug log now.
Jan Kopejtko 2Jan Kopejtko 2
This is my very simple code:
  
trigger ContentDocumentDescription on ContentDocument (after insert) {
    for(ContentDocument a :Trigger.New) {
        a.Description = 'test';
    }
}
And this is the bug I'm recieving:

PRAKASH JADA 13PRAKASH JADA 13
ContentDocument trigger event AfterInsert why the trigger is on After event it should be on before event, right?


I gave you the trigger before event. It should not lock the record can you please check if there are any other triggers? or something related to isAfter on the content document?
PRAKASH JADA 13PRAKASH JADA 13
Please change the code like this
trigger ContentDocumentDescription on ContentDocument (before insert) { --> line changed
    for(ContentDocument a :Trigger.New) {
        a.Description = 'test';
    }
}

if you use after insert then you will get the error because the record is in ready only mode

Oh I see it, yes I fixed it, code looks like this now:
  
trigger ContentDocumentDescription on ContentDocument (before insert) { 
    for(ContentDocument a :Trigger.New) {
        a.Description = 'test';
    }
}

I'm now getting an error:

Now you trying to write the description you need to the title to be updated so in your code change the field from description to Title
PRAKASH JADA 13PRAKASH JADA 13
are you using content version to upload the files if that is the care you need to change your trigger from content document to content version
