How to Combined fields using Apex Class

Hi Team,

 

I have an object called "Projects" and fields on the project record. What I would like to attempt to acheive is when I create an Opp from the Projects object by clicking a create opp button, is to populate two or more fieldsfrom project into one field in an opp. Is this possible? Example below.

 

Projects Object 

 

Fields

Project Name: Freedom Middle School Gym

Project Owner: City of Bakersfield

City: Bakersfield

State: CA

 

The above fields to populate on field on an Opp below. See Example:

 

Opp Object

 

Field

Opportunity Name: Freedom Middle School Gym

                                   City of Bakersfield

                                   Bakersfield, CA

Yes, concatenate the fields together from project when assigning them to the opportunity name.

Thank you for taking a look at my post. See below:

 

public with sharing class CreateOppController {

private Project__c Proj ;
public CreateOppController(ApexPages.standardController std)
{
Proj = (Project__c)std.getRecord();
Proj = [select id , Name__c, Project_Owner__c, Bid_Date__c, City__c, State__c , Low_Bidder__c from Project__c where id =: Proj.Id limit 1];


}


public PageReference doCreateOpportunity(){

Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
opp.Name = Proj.Name &","& Proj.Project_Owner__c ;  < -------- Like this?
opp.BidDate__c = Proj.Bid_Date__c ;
opp.City__c = Proj.City__c;
opp.CloseDate = Date.today();
opp.State__c = Proj.State__c ;
opp.StageName = 'Bid Phase';
opp.Project__c = Proj.id;

That worked but is there any way to get the fields to stack on top of each other. See below.

As of right now it is separated by a comma. Like this: Freedom Middle School Gym,City of Bakersfield

Example:
Opportunity Name: Freedom Middle School Gym
City of Bakersfield
Bakersfield, CA
crop1645crop1645

In Apex, you would concatenate by using '\n' instead of ','

 

However, opportunity.name field is a text field, not a textarea field so it won't display 'stacked'. That is, the '\n' is not converted to <br/> by SFDC. If your application permits it, use a textarea field instead
