Simple Trigger Problems when trying to update OwnerId
I have a problem with a very simple trigger. The error I am getting is:
UpdateownertoCovanceContact: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.FinalException: Record is read-only: Trigger.UpdateownertoCovanceContact: line 7, column 1
When i change to "before update", I get this error:
Apex trigger UpdateownertoCovanceContact caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: UpdateownertoCovanceContact: data changed by trigger for field Owner ID: owner cannot be blank
All I am trying to do is have the Owner be replaced with the Covance Contact, (which is just a lookup field to the user record) upon save. This is such a simple trigger but i just can't figure it out. Thanks!
Here is the code:
trigger UpdateownertoCovanceContact on Contact_Team__c (after insert, after update) {
for (Contact_Team__c ct: trigger.new) {
if (ct.Rship_to_Covance_Contact__c!='neutral') {
ct.Ownerid= ct.Covance_Contact__r.Id ;
}
}
}
Hi
use before insert and before update only
The error "Ownerid is blank " because the field is empty in contact_Team__c
change code below
trigger UpdateownertoCovanceContact on Contact_Team__c (before insert, before update) {
for (Contact_Team__c ct: trigger.new) {
if (ct.Rship_to_Covance_Contact__c!='neutral') {
if(ct.Covance_Contact__c!=null) {
ct.Ownerid= ct.Covance_Contact__c ;
}
}
}
}

I'd expect that error. You can't use relationships without a query. Try this instead:
Hi

The error "Ownerid is blank " because the field is empty in contact_Team__c
change code below
trigger UpdateownertoCovanceContact on Contact_Team__c (before insert, before update) {
for (Contact_Team__c ct: trigger.new) {
if (ct.Rship_to_Covance_Contact__c!='neutral') {
if(ct.Covance_Contact__c!=null) {
ct.Ownerid= ct.Covance_Contact__c ;
}
}
}
}
