Trigger - Help with Invalid Type

Hello,

I've recently started working with triggers and I seem to be having problems with custom objects.  I've tried this a few different ways, but I get either Invalid Type(what this is getting now) or Invalid sObject if I try to query SFDC_Bug_c.  

 

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

 

trigger SendToBug on Case (before update) {
   
    for(Case c : Trigger.new){
        if(c.Reason == 'Bug')   
            SDFC_Bug_c b = new SDFC_Bug_c(Status_c='Open', Priority_c='P3-Medium', Problem_Description_c = c.Description);
            insert b;
           
    }
}

Well, I dont know your custom object definitions, but is this mispelled: SDFC_Bug__c? Should it be SFDC_Bug__c?

You can verify by using the Force.com IDE Schema Browser (open up the salesforce.schema icon in your Force.com IDE Project)

Try two underscores, SDFC_Bug__c

 

Also, I suggest not inserting the new SDFC_Bug__c record within the For Loop. instead I would add the record to a List or Collection and then after the FOR loop completes, do a single insert of the List. Much more efficient and scalable.

Thanks, aalbert.  Unfortunately I am still getting the same error with two underscores(SDFC_Bug__c). 

 

I see what you're saying about the For loop also.
