Opportunity Cloning Trigger
I wrote a trigger that is supposed to clone an opportunity whenever its stage is set to "Closed Won." It's running without errors, but when I create a new opportunity and change its stage to "Closed Won" and then check the list of opportunities, there is no new opportunity. I think I'm cloning the opportunity correctly, but I don't know how to push it to the list of opportunities and give it a name.
here's my trigger:
trigger Create_followup on Opportunity (before update) {
if(Trigger.isUpdate){
List<Opportunity> listOppor = new List<Opportunity>();
for (Opportunity o: Trigger.new){
if (o.StageName == 'Closed Won' && o.Stage_Change__c == false){
Opportunity oppNew = o.clone();
listOppor.add(oppNew);
o.Stage_Change__c = true;
}
if(listOppor.size() > 0){
insert listOppor;
}
}
}
}
Thanks in advance for your help!

Your code seems to work in my org, though I did remove code that referenced your custom field.
if(Trigger.isUpdate){
List<Opportunity> listOppor = new List<Opportunity>();
for (Opportunity o: Trigger.new){
if (o.StageName == 'Closed Won' ){
Opportunity oppNew = o.clone();
//oppNew.Name = oppNew.Name + '_Copy';
listOppor.add(oppNew);
}// end if
if(listOppor.size() > 0){
insert listOppor;
}//end if
}//end for
}//end if
Couple of suggestions
1) Its good practice to do insert operation outside for loop
2) You may update the name of cloned opportunity using code oppNew.Name = oppNew.Name + '_Copy';
3) The old and new records should be compared to see if the value of a field has chnaged in given transaction.I am not able to interpret the significance of Stage_Change__c, may be you are using this field for same purpose as well
Hope this helps
