Apex trigger

Hi,

 I have an approval process where I am updating a field x in steps 2,4,6 to "true". In steps 1,3,5 and 7, I am not updating the field at all. In my before update trigger, I need to execute some code only when the field x is true. Can I do that? How can I check in the trigger if the field is updated eventhough to the same value?

Thanks in advance

You can't per say.

 

You would have to have another field that flags as the approval process is running (another field update) then check both fields to be true (set the running value during the same step as the other flag.

 

Then have the trigger uncheck the running check flag
