befor trigger

i have an opportunity before trigger that works great but how do i keep it from firing when a new opportunitylineitem is added? it keeps changing a field on the opportunity causing it the opportunity to fire also there are some rollup fields on the opportunity and i think that is also the issue

You can't do this. opportunity before trigger fires only when you do dml on opportunity. But, you can achieve this by creating a trigger on opportunitylineitem and updates its assoicated opportunity record. (ie use after trigger )

This can sometimes happen when a workflow updates the opportunity record. 

 

Trigger Order of Execution

 

One method around this it to create a class with a public static property:

public static boolean FromLineItemUpdate
{
	get
	{
	if (FromLineItemUpdate == null) FromLineItemUpdate = false;
	return FromLineItemUpdate;
	}
	set;
}

 Then Create a trigger for the OpportunityLineItem, Set this public property to true.

 

Finally, at the beginning your Opportunity trigger, check the value, and exit if it is true.
