Hi Vigneshwaram,

You are getting that error because:

1. It shoud be  oOpportunity.StageName instead oOpportunity.Stage

2. It should be 'Closed Lost'  insted   ‘Closed Lost’  (this difference you will observe while writing trigger)

Thanks,

Hi Vigneshwaram,

Try this code:


trigger createNewAccountOpportunity on Account (after insert) {
    List<Opportunity> listOpportunities = new List<Opportunity>();

    for (Account oAccount : trigger.new) {
        Opportunity oOpportunity = new Opportunity();
        oOpportunity.Name = oAccount.Name;
        oOpportunity.AccountId = oAccount.Id;
        oOpportunity.Stagename = 'Closed Lost';
        oOpportunity.CloseDate = System.today() + 30; //Closes 30 days from today

        listOpportunities.add(oOpportunity);
    }

    if (listOpportunities.isEmpty() == false) {
        Database.update(listOpportunities);
    }
}



Thanks,
Pratik

Hi,

Use oOpportunity.StageName = 'Closed Lost';
instead of oOpportunity.Stage = ‘Closed Lost’;
