Need help on a Trigger to populate lookup fields

Hello All,

I am new to Apex and I am trying to build a trigger that will pull field values from a single record in a custom object called system_policy__c. There is only one record for that object and it is intended to set default values for new records created. 

 

So basically I'm trying to pull a lookup field value from system_policy__c.field1__c to sample_object__c.field1__c

 


I'm trying to populate these fields (before insert,before update)

 

I am just learning, and any help will be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give!

Below is code snippet which may help you:-

 

trigger SampleObjectTrigger on sample_object__c(before insert, before update){
	system_policy__c systemPolicy = [Select Field1__c from System_Policy__c limit 1];
	for(sample_object__c sampleObject : trigger.new){
		sampleObject.Field1__c = systemPolicy.Field1__c
	}
}

 Please let me know if you have any question around this.
