Here is code you can use 

trigger contract on Contract (after insert ,after Update)

{
   List<Account> ListToUpdate = new list<Account>();

   Map<id , Account> MapOfAccounts = new Map<id , Account>([select id, Name from Account ]);
   Account a ;

   for(Contract contract : trigger.new)

    {
         if(Contract.AccountId != null)

        {             

            a = new Account();    

            a = MapOfAccounts.get(contract.AccountId) ;

            a.Name = contract.Name ;

            ListToUpdate.add(a);
        }
   }
   update ListToUpdate;
}

If you want to update a field on account after inserting or updating the contract object record then you can achive this by trigger on contract object which will execute on after/before inserting or updating the contract object record.

Hi,

You can before/after insert for this

U can try this, in this is have update account name u can update your text field.
trigger contract on Contract (after insert) {
list<Account> listOfAccounts = new list<Account>();
for(Contract contract : trigger.new) {
if(Contract.AccountId != null) {
Account account = new account(Id =Contract.AccountId, Name = contract.Name);
listOfAccounts.add(account);
}
}
update listOfAccounts;
}

Hi, Try this trigger

 

trigger UpdateAccount on Contract (after insert) {
list<Account> accList = new list<Account>();
for(Contract contract : trigger.new) {
if(Contract.AccountId != null) {
Account account = new Account(Id =Contract.AccountId);
if(contract.name != NULL){
account.YourTextField__c = contract.name;
accList.add(account);
}

Hi,

 

Here is the best code with all securtiy 

trigger contract on Contract (after insert ,after Update)
{
          //Map hold the Parent Account which are parent of contract
         Map<id , Account> MapOfAccounts = new Map<id , Account>();

        //Iterating the contract record and updating the related account name of account reocord by contract name
       for(Contract contract : trigger.new)
      {
             if(Contract.AccountId != null)
             {
                  Account a = new Account(id = contract.AccountId,a.Name = contract.Name );
                 MapOfAccounts.put(contract.AccountId,a);
             }
       }

     //This will hold the child account record of parent account ( which are derictly related to contract) 
       Map<id, Account> ChildAccountMap = new Map<Id,Account>();
       for(Account acc :[select id ,name ,ParentId form account where ParentId :MapOfAccounts.keySet()])
       {
                if(MapOfAccounts.containsKey(acc.Parent))
               {
                      //Updating the name of name of account by the name of parent account name (Parent account name already update by contract name)
                      ChildAccountMap.put(acc.id,new Account(id=acc.id,name = MapOfAccounts.get(acc.ParentId).name) );
               }
       }


     //Now Upated all account record in single dml opertating

        if(ChildAccountMap!=null && ChildAccountMap.size()>0) 
                  MapOfAccounts.putAll(ChildAccountMap);

        if(MapOfAccounts!= null && MapOfAccounts.size()>0 )
               update MapOfAccounts.values();

 }
