Field update

I have Lease Type field on  object Building__c.It is text field.

 

When Lease Type contains 'Monthly'

 

Status shud be active

 

 

If it was LeaseType equals Monthly i would have given straight forward.But am looking as to give  if it contains Monthly

If you are trying it in Workflow, you can do CONTAINS( Building__c, 'Monthly')

 

If its on trigger, you can do in the look do building.Lease_Type__c.contains('Monthly'); where building is the loop variable on trigger list.

 

Let me know if there is something else you are looking for as its not very clear.

Hi,

 

Have you checked a Text function - CONTAINS. May be that can solve your problem!!

I am assuming the active field on your custom object Building__C is a chekbox/boolean. If not ,say so :) If you really want to use apex, you can make a trigger, but thats more work and requires test code. 

 

Go to setup>create>workflows&approvals>workflow rules

make a new rule

select building__c object, click next

enter a name

select Every time a record is created or edited

rule creteria> when creteria are met (default choice)

Field>  Lease Type

operator > contains

Value> Monthly
save 

make a new field update

give it a name

object> Building__c

field to update > Status__c

Chekbox option > true

save

 

Go to setup>create>workflows&approvals>workflow rules

activate the workflow rule you just made
