Field update

I have two object A and B.

 

When the ID of object B is saved to a field in Object A, a second field in Object A should populate that will now have the name of Object B.

 

There is no relationship between object A and B. 

 

Other than trigger what other way is there to do this?

The only way to do this in a formula would be if Object A had a lookup field to Object B.

 

Since this lookup does not exist then you have to use a trigger OR the process that saves the ID into Object A needs to also save the Name.
