Apex trigger to create a new record
Hi, I am a complete novice on trigger creation so please hep.
I need help with the following trigger- it is supposed to create a new record in my custom objectt Billable Swapped Assets should an asset's Custom Field called Movement Status be changed to Swapped.
I am getting an unexpected token error on the underlined line for the "For"
trigger create on Asset (after update) {
List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c> auditTrailList = new List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c>
// or whatever your custom object name put instead of Vehicle__c
for (Asset ass : Trigger.new) {
// here is where you check if opportunity that is being inserted meets the criteria
if (ass.Movement_Status__c = 'Swapped') {
//instantiate the object to put values for future record
Billable_Swapped_Asset__c b= new Billable_Swapped_Asset__c ();
// now map opportunity fields to new vehicle object that is being created with this opportunity
ass.Product2= b.Product__c;
ass.InstallDate= b.Install_Date__c;
ass.UsageEndDate= b.End_Date__c;
//once done, you need to add this new object to the list that would be later inserted.
//don't worry about the details for now
auditTrailList.add(b);
}//end if
}//end for ass
//once loop is done, you need to insert new records in SF
// dml operations might cause an error, so you need to catch it with try/catch block.
try {
insert auditTrailList;
} catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
system.debug (e);
}
}

ass.Product2= b.Product__c;
ass.InstallDate= b.Install_Date__c;
ass.UsageEndDate= b.End_Date__c;
Change these to
b.Product__c=ass.Product2;
b.Install_Date__c= ass.InstallDate;
b.End_Date__c=ass.UsageEndDate;
I changed them and I am still getting the same error- it refuses to save.
I just noticed a silly mistake. The problem is in the second line List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c> auditTrailList = new List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c>
Please change this line to
List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c> auditTrailList = new List <Billable_Swapped_Asset__c>();
Mark this as the solution if this resolved your issue.
