cruttley2 Trigger Help - Product object - I simply want to copy Rich Text field A to Rich Text field B
This has to be the simplest trigger request ever.
I have a rich text field on Product object. Lets call it RTA.
I have another rich text field on Product object. Lets call it RTB.
I simply want a trigger that copies RTA to RTB whenever the Product is created or updated. I have never written Apex code before.
(Why do I need this? Because this cannot be done through formulas or workflows, because it is a Rich Text field, which Salesforce has limitations on.)
I have been looking for similar code, but due to my limited Apex programming skills, I cant figure out how to code this.
Could anyone help provide code for this simpe trigger?
All help GREATLY appreciated.
Try this trigger :-
trigger updtrichtextfld on ur_object_name (before insert,before update) {
for(ur_object_name u:trigger.new){
if(u.rta__c!=null){
u.rtb__c=u.rta__c;
}
}
}
This trigger fires when ever rta__c not null.
put your own condition when ever you want this trigger to fire.

Here is the trigger that I have built, based on your input:
trigger Copy_Product_Terms_To_Product_Description_External on Product2 (before insert,before update) {
for (Product2 op: Trigger.new) {
IF(op.BMXQ__Product_Terms__c!=null)
{op.Product_Description_External__c = op.XXXQ__Product_Terms__c;}
}
}
The trigger actually workds great, so thanks for your help. But I cant deploy it, because my test class keeps failing on the second system assert, and I dont know why: Here is my test class:
public class TestCopyProductTermsToProductDescExt{
static testmethod void Copy_Product_Terms_To_Product_Description_External (){
Product2 newproduct = new Product2(Name = 'Chris Test Product', Family = 'Election Management System',Product_Type__c='Other',Quote_Sort_Group__c='70 Other',IsActive = True,XXXQ__Product_Terms__c = 'THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION');
insert newProduct;
system.assertNotEquals(newProduct.Id, null);
System.assertEquals('THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION',newProduct.Product_Description_External__c,'THE FIELDS DONT MATCH 2!');
system.debug(newProduct);
}
}
And the test class failure is:
System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: THE FIELDS DONT MATCH 2!: Expected: THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION, Actual: null
Insert some value into this Product_Description_External__c field in the test class.
I just modified the test class use this code:-
public class TestCopyProductTermsToProductDescExt{
static testmethod void Copy_Product_Terms_To_Product_Description_External (){
Product2 newproduct = new Product2(Name = 'Chris Test Product',
Family = 'Election Management System',Product_Type__c='Other',
Quote_Sort_Group__c='70 Other',
IsActive = True,
XXXQ__Product_Terms__c = 'THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION',
Product_Description_External__c='THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION');
insert newProduct;
system.assertNotEquals(newProduct.Id, null);
System.assertEquals('THIS IS A RICH TEXT DESCRIPTION',newProduct.Product_Description_External__c,'THE FIELDS DONT MATCH 2!');
system.debug(newProduct);
}
}
If still its is not working just remove system assert function .i feel you wont require these functions in insert operation.
Thanks again Anil.
I made the changes, but the AssertEquals still fails. So like you said, I am going to comment out the AssertEquals, since the trigger is working.
But I wish I knew why it was failing!
Thanks for your help.
