Ryan-Haire Convert CreatedDate to Date
This is probably a very basic question. I'm new to programming and have spend 2 hours on this.

The update field on the object I'm trying to update is of type Date.
How do you convert CreatedDate to a Date field?

trigger UpdateQSOCreatedDate on FRLS_Round__c (after insert) {
List<ID> QSOTargetIds = New List<ID>();
for(FRLS_Round__c r : Trigger.new){
if(r.QSO_Target__c!=null){
QSOTargetIds.add(r.QSO_Target__c);
}
}
List<QSO_Target__c> QSOTargetList = [SELECT id, Date_Last_Round_Created__c FROM QSO_Target__c WHERE id in :QSOTargetIds];
for(integer i = 0 ; i < QSOTargetList.size(); i++){
QSOTargetList[i].Date_Last_Round_Created__c = FRLS_Round__c.CreatedDate;
}
update QSOTargetList;
}
