nsoos Apex trigger to create child object code
Hi,
I have a master object KC_Sales_c and a child object Pro_Forma_c
I have created an Apex trigger so that every time a KC Sales record is added a Pro Forma is automatically created.
Is it correct?
Thanks
trigger CreateProForma on KC_Sales__c (before insert) {
//1. Create collection of new Pro Formas
List<Pro_Forma_c> newProForma = new List<Pro_Forma_c>();
//2. Iterate through the new sales
for (KC_Sales_c sale : trigger.new) {
//2a. For each sales, create a new pro forma
Pro_Forma_c freshProForma = new Pro_Forma_c();
freshProForma.KC_Sales_c = sale.id;
freshProForma.Name = sale.Name_c;
// NO NO!
// insert freshProForma;
//2b. Add the new ProForma to the collection
newProForma.add(freshProForma);
}
//4. Save the new ProFormas
insert newProFormas;
}
Hi,
For creating child records, you need to use after trigger,
trigger CreateProForma on KC_Sales__c (after insert) {
List<Pro_Forma_c> newProForma = new List<Pro_Forma_c>();
for (KC_Sales_c sale : trigger.new) {
Pro_Forma_c freshProForma = new Pro_Forma_c();
freshProForma.KC_Sales_c = sale.id;
freshProForma.Name = sale.Name_c;
newProForma.add(freshProForma);
}
insert newProFormas;
}
What if you want the record that these child objects have been created in the parent object. I am attempting to write a trigger where child objects must be created and a checkbox on the parent is checked to signify that these records have been created. I have attemped to make the call asynchronously from an after insert trigger and also tried doing this in a before insert. Any thoughts?
