dfpitt Help inserting child record of custom object - BRAND NEW TO FORCE.COM and APEX
Hello,
I'm brand new to APEX, I need some help.
I have a custom object called Patient__c and a custom object called EMR__c, I want to automatically create an EMR record when i create a patient, with just the patient field filled, the rest should be blank (and none other EMR fields are setup as required fields).
I created the trigger below, but I get the following error when saving a patient (the new patient's name is John Smith):
Error: Invalid Data.
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Apex trigger insert_EMR caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: insert_EMR: execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.StringException: Invalid id: John Smith: Trigger.insert_EMR: line 7, column 82
trigger insert_EMR on Patient__c (after insert) {
List<EMR__c> ListA = new List<EMR__c>();
for (Patient__c pat : trigger.new)
{
EMR__c emr1= new EMR__c(Patient__c=pat.name);
ListA.add(ante);
insert ListA;
}
}
any ideas would be appreciated,
thanks
Line 7:
try instead of EMR__c emr1= new EMR__c(Patient__c=pat.name);
this:
EMR__c emr1= new EMR__c(Patient__c=pat.Id);

That worked great, thank!
