Bylithium Trigger on Task
I am trying to write a Trigger on Task which has Member_Number__c field, whenever I create a task and select related account I want the Member_Number__c field to be populated with the respective Account_Number__c from Account Object.
I am having problems with the mapping as I am not able to figure out how to map Task and Account Fields.
trigger Memberidupdate on Task (before insert) {
id accid = Trigger.new[0].AccountId;
Map<id,String> taskaccmap = new Map<id,String>();
String accfield,Taskfield;
Task [] newTask;
newTask = [select id,AccountId,Member_Number__c from Task where id=:accid];
Taskfield = newTask[0].Account_Number__c;
Account [] Acc;
acc = [select id,Account_Number__c from Account where id=:accid];
accfield = acc[0].Account_Number__c;
taskaccmap.put(Taskfield,accfield);
}
Thanks a lot..It worked
I used whatid instead of Accountid

Hi,
You r trying to fetch record which has not created actually (because trigger is fired on before insert).
The marked code is creating problem.
If I change it to after insert I still have issues...Can you help me to correct the code.
Please find below the sample trigger :
trigger Memberidupdate on Task (before insert) {
if(Trigger.isBefore)
{
for(Task tsk:Trigger.new)
{
if(tsk.AccountId ! = null || tsk.AccountId ! = '')
{
String strTemp=[select Account_Number__c from Account where id = :tsk.AccountId].Account_Number__c;
tsk.Member_Number__c = strTemp;
}
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
