Staci custom close button
I have a custom close button for our custom object Change. You click the Close Change button and it opens an edit screen of the closed page layout. If a user clicks Cancel instead of Save, the changes still take place. How do I prevent the changes from happening if the users changes their mind and clicks Cancel?
Code:
public class CloseChangeButtonController {
Change__c currChange;
public CloseChangeButtonController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
currChange = [Select Auto_Approved__c, Contact_Approved_Date_Time__c, Contact_Accepted__c, Change_Owner__c, Category__c,
Change_Manager_Rejected_Date_Time__c, Change_Manager_Rejected_Checkbox__c,
Change_Manager_Approved_Date_Time__c, Change_Manager_Accepted__c, Change_Implementer__c, Change_Manager__c,
Account_Lookup__c, Backout_Plan1__c, Implementation_End_Date_Time__c, Contact_Approver2__c, Dealer_Account4__c,
ProductChange__c, UrgencyChange__c, TypeChange__c, Implementation_Plan1__c, Test_Plan1__c, Target_Date_Time__c,
Subsystem__c, Subject__c, Implementation_Start_Date_Time__c, Description__c, Dealer_Rejected_Date_Time__c,
Dealer_Approver_Rejected_Comments__c, Dealer_Accepted__c, Dealer_Rejected_Checkbox__c,
Dealer_Approved_Date_Time__c, Contact_Rejected_Date_Time__c, Contact_Approver_Rejected_Comments__c, Contact_Phone__c,
Contact_Rejected_Checkbox__c, Contact_Mobile__c, Contact_Email__c, Support_Advocate1__c From Change__c Where Id = :controller.getId()];
}
public PageReference CloseChange(){
if((currChange.Auto_Approved__c) ||
(((currChange.Change_Manager_Accepted__c) || (currChange.Change_Manager_Rejected_Checkbox__c)) &&
((currChange.Contact_Accepted__c) || (currChange.Contact_Rejected_Checkbox__c))&&
((currChange.Dealer_Accepted__c) || (currChange.Dealer_Rejected_Checkbox__c))))
{
currChange.StatusChange__c = 'Completed';
currChange.RecordTypeId = '012f00000008WBb';
// Insert the change record
Database.update(currChange);
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id + '/e');
return retPage;
}
else{
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id);
return retPage;
}
}
}
I understand now what you are exactly trying to dod and I would say, do not update the record in closeChange method. Instead of that what you can do is, you can autopopulate "Completed" in Status using URL parameter.
Go to you Change object and select the status field. From URL, you will find field id(.com/fieldId?set...)
From your CloseChange method, pass this in URL like
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id + '/e?fieldId=Completed');All Answers
The Cancel button is the Standard Cancel button in SF.
You might want to override the "cancel()" method of standard controller and create the same in your extension class to do your desired action..
Database.update(currChange);
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id + '/e');
You should perform save action only when required.
How do I pull out the save and cancel action?
How would I override the cancel() method?
2 things.
1. as mentioned by Bhawani, why are you returning the edit page on close action? Just return '/id'.
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id); return retPage;I am not sure why are you using if and else and returning edit page.
2. if you are using puuting button name as "cancel" and action as "cancel", to override you need to create a method named "cancel()" and return the details page without making any DML or anything.
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id); return retPage;hope this helps.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish and I guess I'm not doing it right, I've only just learned Apex a month ago.
We have a change record that we want to close, just like closing a case. They click the Close Change button and I want it to go to the edit screen of the closed change layout, we have several fields that are needed to be required on closing which is why we are doing it this way.
I want them to fill in the required fields on that edit screen and then click Save and have the changes made. BUT in clicking the Close Change button I also want the Status to default to Complete. BUT if they click cancel, I want the Status to go back to what it was and go back to the open change layout and have no changes made.
How would I accomplish this the right way?

Nevermind, I figured it out!
PageReference retPage = new PageReference('/' + currChange.id + '/e?RecordType=012f00000008WBb&00Nf0000000KRSP=Completed');
Thank you so much!
