Smike25 Count cases on custom object
Hey all!
Looking for some assistance with a trigger that would be used to count the total number of cases that are listed on a custom object we've built. Trucks_Under_Warranty__c is the custom object we have built.
Under Cases we have the field "Truck Under Warranty__c" which is a lookup(Trucks Under Warranty) Indexed and its controlling field is Account Name. Gets a little confusing for the "Truck/Trucks" in the field names.
The field used to hold the count is named Case Count (Case_Count__c). I could use some direction on the trigger due to it being on this custom object. We're wanting a way to designate if a truck is problematic or not based upon how many cases are generated under it.
I had been trying to look at a snippit of code someone posted for counting cases on an contact to understand it and translate it to our ORG
But i'm not sure what to change "ContactId" to and it work with our custom object. I've also tried to read through sfdcfox's example ( https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008zIxIAI ) but it is still a little out of my apex knowledge base.
TLDR: Would love some help with writing a trigger to count the number of cases on a custom object

let me know what else i can help you
trigger ContractTrigger on Contract". Should that be changed to "Cases" for the solution im looking for? When I look at saving what is written now I get "Error: Compile Error: Variable does not exist: ContractTriggerController at line 3 column 9". I could completely be missing and not understanding though
i just gave an example...that's it.
I can fix thix quickly for you. let me know ..you can approach me directly on amulhai@gmail.com
You should be able to do this by getting the list of Account IDs that are referenced from the case, then loop on those Account IDs, and do a SOQL
[SELECT COUNT() FROM Case where AccountId = the Account ID in the loop ];
Which will give you the number of cases related to that account.
Im not trying to do anything at all with Contact. In my ORG we have a custom object named "Truck Inventory" which is the container for all of our inventory. Our warranty department has an object called "Trucks Under Warranty". Whenever a piece of truck inventory is sold through an opportunity, it creates a Truck Under Warranty record. Our warranty department then goes into those records and adds Cases to them based upon any warranty calls. I'm trying to make a way to count the total number of cases per truck (not per account), so that way they can easily see problematic trucks. Does that make sense? I can post some screen caps of how things are set up if needed.
Thanks for the help. I'll go back and edit the example to see if I can get it correct and i'll post the results here. Thanks for offering to modify it, but i'd like the practice at going back and editing and learning it more.
I have almos this exact same class in my org, but seem to be hitting limits. Do you know any way of modifying this to get around that? The error that I am getting says its happening on line 83, column 1 which is the area in your code below:
for(sObject s : Database.query(parentQuery)) {
Integer row = 0; //row counter reset for every parent record
for(fieldDefinition d : fieldDefinitions) {
String field = 'expr' + row.format();
AggregateResult r = parentValueMap.get(s.Id);
//r will be null if no records exist
//(e.g. last record deleted)
if(r != null) {
Decimal value = ((Decimal)r.get(field) == null ) ? 0 :
(Decimal)r.get(field);
s.put(d.parentField, value);
} else {
s.put(d.parentField, 0);
}
row += 1; //plus 1 for every field definition after first
}
parentsToUpdate.add(s);
}
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
