Mihir Mehta 11 Apex trigger on Tag objects
Hello Co-Developers,
We are using private and public tags in Salesforce, but would like to share the private tags created by one specific user with another member in his team. I wasn't able to see a way to do that, so I went down the apex trigger route. I see triggers are not supported on TagObjects (like TagDefinition and ContactTag). Am I correct about this ? Is there a work-around ?
Please help.
Best,
Mihir

This is correct; you cannot create an Apex trigger on the TagDefinition or XTag objects. That said, you can create XTag records via Apex so maybe a workaround would be to create a simple VFPage for creating tags with an Apex controller that checks the running user and cross references with some group or custom setting that determines if his/her tags should be shared and if so with whom to create duplicate personal tags for those other users.
That is a nice idea. I think you mean inline VF page, as we would like to keep the impact of this seamless to the end user.
