Hi,

You can try by modifying below sample code which is for contact phone number change. 
trigger updateContactsFromAccount on Account (after update) {
  Contact[] updatedContacts = new Contact[0];
  Account[] changedAccounts = new Account[0];
  for(account a:Trigger.new) {
    if(a.phone != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).phone ||
       a.fax != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).fax ||
       a.billingstreet != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).billingstreet || 
       a.billingcity != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).billingcity ||
       a.billingstate != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).billingstate || 
       a.billingpostalcode != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).billingpostalcode ||
       a.billingcountry != trigger.oldmap.get(a.id).billingcountry) {
      changedAccounts.add(a);
    }
  }
  for(Contact c:[select id,accountid,phone,mailingstreet,mailingcity,mailingpostalcode,mailingcountry,mailingstate from contact where accountid in :trigger.new]) {
    account a = trigger.newmap.get(c.accountid);
    boolean updatedrecord = false;
    if(c.phone == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).phone) {
      c.phone = a.phone;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.fax == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).fax) {
      c.fax = a.fax;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.mailingstreet == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).billingstreet) {
      c.mailingstreet = a.billingstreet;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.mailingcity == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).billingcity) {
      c.mailingcity = a.billingcity;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.mailingstate == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).billingstate) {
      c.mailingstate = a.billingstate;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.mailingpostalcode == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).billingpostalcode) {
      c.mailingpostalcode = a.billingpostalcode;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(c.mailingcountry == trigger.oldmap.get(c.accountid).billingcountry) {
      c.mailingcountry = a.billingcountry;
      updatedrecord = true;
    }
    if(updatedrecord) {
      updatedcontacts.add(c);
    }
  }
  update updatedcontacts;
}

Hi,

Please Try below code


//TRIGGER TO UPDATE ACCOUNT IF CONTACT STATUS CHANGES

trigger UpdateAccount on Contact (After insert,After Update) {
    public static Boolean isFirstTime = true;
    if(isFirstTime){
    isFirstTime = False;    
    List<Account> accList = new List<Account>();
  
    For(Contact con:[SELECT id,Status__c,Account.Id,Account.Status__c FROM Contact Where Id In:Trigger.new]){ 
        
        if(con.Status__c == con.Account.Status__c || trigger.oldmap.get(con.Id).Status__c  == con.Status__c){
            System.debug('==========================');
        }
        else{
           System.debug('Updating status on Account');
           con.Account.Status__c = con.Status__c;
           accList.add(con.Account); 
        }
    }
    System.debug('Account List'+accList);
    update accList;
    System.debug('UPdated Account Map'+accList);
    
    }

}

//TRIGGER TO UPDATE CONTACT IF ACCOUNT STATUS CHANGES

trigger UpdateContact on Account (After insert,After Update) {

Hi,

Try to identify any other possibilities in your org like flows or multiple triggers and turn them off
Or analyze code and try to idenify problem.

Here attached tested screenshots of my code.

Account with status completed

User-added image

Created new contact associated with this account

User-added image

Save contact .Status populated from account.

Thank you

HI,    You are refering two different fields of account in code 


trigger statuscontact on Contact (After insert,After Update) {  //sts__c(account)  status__c(contact)
    public static Boolean isFirstTime = true;
    if(isFirstTime){
    isFirstTime = False;    
    List<Account> accList = new List<Account>();
    List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>();
  
    For(Contact con:[SELECT id,status__c,Account.Id,Account.status__c FROM Contact Where Id In:Trigger.newMap.keyset()]){ 
        //SELECT id,Status__c,Account.Id,Account.Status__c FROM Contact Where Id In:Trigger.newMap.keyset()
        
        if(Account.sts__c != NULL && con.status__c == con.Account.sts__c ){
            if(Trigger.isupdate && trigger.oldmap.get(con.Id).Status__c  == con.status__c){
                System.debug('===========UPDATE===============');
            }
            System.debug('=========INSERT=================');
          }
        else{
           System.debug('Updating status on Account');
            if(con.status__c != NULL){
                   con.Account.sts__c = con.status__c;
                 accList.add(con.Account); 
            }
            else{
                Contact conObj = new Contact(id=con.id);
                conObj.Status__c = con.Account.Status__c;
                conList.add(conObj);
             }
        }
    }
    System.debug('Account List'+accList);
    update accList;
    update conList;
    System.debug('UPdated Account Map'+accList);
    
    }

}
