My req is i want to populate my custom field  "Dealer Principal__c"  on Account exception__c custom object with  the contact first name and last name of the contact  related to the account that i select if the contact title is set as "Dealer Principal" (This is done)

contact title as "Dealer Principal"  and not the group account contact  (need help on it)


My trigger :

Hi, Below code may help:
1. fetch the Record type Id
2. filter AccountException__c where related Account Record type id is group account 
trigger updateaccountexceptions on AccountExceptions__c(after insert) {
    map < id, string > dealercontacts = new map < id, string > ();
    set < id > accids = new set < id > ();
	RecordType RecType = [Select Id From RecordType  Where SobjectType = 'Account' and Name = 'GroupAccount'];

    for (AccountExceptions__c acex: Trigger.new]) {
        if(acex.RecordTypeId == RecType.Id)
		accids.add(acex.account__c);
    }

    List < contact > cons = new List < contact > ([select Id, accountid, firstname, lastname from contact where title = 'Dealer Principal'
        and accountid = : accids
    ]);

    for (Contact con: cons) {
        string conname = con.firstname + ' ' + con.lastname;
        dealercontacts.put(con.accountid, conname);
    }

    list < AccountExceptions__c > acexlisttoupdate = new list < AccountExceptions__c > ();

    for (AccountExceptions__c acex: trigger.new) {
        AccountExceptions__c accex1 = new AccountExceptions__c();
        if (dealercontacts.containskey(acex.account__c)) {
            accex1.id = acex.id;
            accex1.Dealer_Principal_s__c = dealercontacts.get(acex.account__c);
            acexlisttoupdate.add(accex1);
        }
    }

    update acexlisttoupdate;

My requirement is below 


1) if the account is a nornmal account (PDN Record type) , the contact(name) associated with that account with title "Dealer Principal" is populated to that field


2) If the account is a group account


the group account might have many child accounts , where it will check the contacts of all th e child accounts with the title "Dealer principal" and update the name correspondingly


so my case should work for both the scenarios

First scenario my trigger is working fine , just need help on second one


but if i use the trigger with record type query , the first one wil not work right
