Create new entry in a different object

I created 2 custom objects as a logging tool; Suppor Ticket and Maintenance Requests.

 

I have a field called type in the maintenance object. I would like a new entry to be created in the support ticket object if the field Type (in maintinance object) is changed to Support Required. Is this possible without Apex coding?

I dont know whether you still require answer for this or not.

If yes then use the below code and replace accordingly with your details.

trigger <<triggername>> on Maintainance__c(after update)

{

    if(Trigger.isUpdate){
        for(Maintainance__c m: Trigger.new)

       {

          if(m.Type__c == 'Support Required')

          {

               SupportTicket__c st = new SupportTicket__c();

               //do your stuff, for ex

                st.xyz = m.xyz;

                insert st;

          }
         
        }
    }  

}

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

I do not believe so. You would have to write an Apex Trigger.

It can not be achieved through standard functionality, you need to create a trigger for that.

Thanks for the reply. I have very little apex code knowledge. Can someone point me in the right direction? perhaps a similar code where i have to replace fields/objects name? Thanks

Okay I've written my code and tested it in my sandbox; works as expected. When I tried to move it to production, I ran a the deployement test and I received the following msg: "Coverage of selected Apex Trigger is 0%...." I browsed the boards for an answer but everything I tried didn't work. Can someone help me write a test class?

 

Below is my Trigger Code:

 

 

trigger CreateTicket on Maintenance_Request__c(after update)

{

    if(Trigger.isUpdate){
        for(Maintenance_Request__c m: Trigger.new)

       {

          if(m.Status__c == 'Pending Support')

          {

               Support_Team_Request__c st = new Support_Team_Request__c();

               //do your stuff, for ex

                  st.Your_name__c = m.Your_Name__c;
                  st.Client_reported_issue__c = 'No';
                   st.Short_description__c = m.Short_Description__c;
                   st.Client_Name__c = m.Client_Name__c;
                   st.Description_of_Issue__c = m.Detailed_Description__c;
                    st.Mailbox__c = m.Mailbox__c;
                    st.Priority__c = 'medium';
                    st.Created_From_MTR__c = 'Yes';
                    st.Request_Type__c = 'production' ;  
                    st.Participant_Name__c = m.Participant_Name__c;
                    st.Participant_ID__c = m.Participant_ID__c;
                    st.CC_Contact__c = m.CC_Contact__c;

                insert st;

          }
         
        }
    }  

}
