Hi Everyone,

I have a custom object called Student and has associated tasks with it.

here you go.  note this is an updated trigger from my original one.  

 

note also  that i am assuming your Student record's "Active" custom field is a checkbox.  If it is some other field type then change the map value from boolean to String or whatever the type is

 

trigger updateTaskStatus on Student__c (after update) 
{   
        List<Student__c> studentList = new List<Student__c>([SELECT Id,Active__c FROM Student__c WHERE Active__c = false]);                 
        Map<Id,Boolean> taskMap = new Map<Id,Boolean>();
            For(Student__c s: studentList)
            {
                taskMap.put(s.ID,s.Active__c);
            } 
            
        List<Task> taskList = new List<Task>();
            For(Task t :  [select Id,WhatId,Status from Task where WhatId IN: taskMap.Keyset()])
            {
                t.Status='Completed';
                taskList.add(t);
            } 
                Update taskList;                             
}

and the test class...

 

@isTest
    private class testUpdateTaskStatus 
    {
        static testMethod void verifyUpdateTaskStatus ()
        {
        
        Student__c s = new Student__c ();
        s.Name = 'test';
        s.Active__c =true;
        insert s;
        
        Task t = new Task();
        t.Subject = 'test';
        t.Status = 'In Progress';
        t.Priority = 'Low';
        t.WhatId = s.Id;
        insert t;
        
        s.Active__c = false;
        update s;

        List<Task> retrieveTask = [SELECT id,WhatId,Status FROM Task WHERE Whatid =: s.Id ];
        
        Integer size = retrieveTask.size();
        system.assertEquals(1,size);            

               
        }
    }

Thanks a lot for your reply. 

 

The field is not called Active. Its called status.

 

The values I am considering is Status  = "Expelled,Dropped"

 

Please help 

 

Many thanks again
