Access user id field on parent record for apex sharing-Please Help!!!

Hi Everyone,
           I am running into a small issue here.  Need help just with 1 line of syntax. So I have an object called Project Form , which is looking up to its parent called costpoint project . There is a user field on costpoint record (project team member 1) . I want an apex sharing record (on project form) to get created whenever a project form is added to a particular costpoint project .  All is working well, just the syntax to pass on the Id of the user from parent record seems to go awry . Please help me with the code given below, I have underscored the lines .


 for(Project_Form__c ProjectForm : trigger.new){
            // Instantiate the sharing objects
            teamMemberShr = new Project_Form__Share();
            
            
            // Set the ID of record being shared
            teamMemberShr.ParentId = ProjectForm.Id;
            
            
            // Set the ID of user or group being granted access
            //teamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId = ProjectForm.Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c;
            system.debug('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: ' + ProjectForm.Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c);
         
            teamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId = '005G0000001to4iIAA';
            
            // Set the access level
            teamMemberShr.AccessLevel = 'read';
            
            
            // Set the Apex sharing reason for hiring manager and recruiter
            teamMemberShr.RowCause = Schema.Project_Form__Share.RowCause.Project_Team_Member__c;
            
            
            // Add objects to list for insert
            ProjectFormShrs.add(teamMemberShr);
            
        }

 List<Project_Form__Share> ProjectFormShrs = new List<Project_Form__Share>();
    List<Project_Form__c> pfList = trigger.new;
    Set<Id> resultIds = (new Map<Id,SObject>(pfList)).keySet();
    Map<Id,Project_Form__c> pfMap = new Map<Id,Project_Form__c>([Select Id, Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c From Project_Form__c Where Id in :resultIds]);
    for(Project_Form__c ProjectForm : pfList){
            // Instantiate the sharing objects
            Project_Form__Share teamMemberShr = new Project_Form__Share();
            
            
            // Set the ID of record being shared
            teamMemberShr.ParentId = ProjectForm.Id;
            teamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId = ProjectForm.Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c;
            
            // Set the ID of user or group being granted access
            //teamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId = ProjectForm.Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c;
            system.debug('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: ' + teamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId);
         
            //eamMemberShr.UserOrGroupId = '005G0000001to4iIAA';
            
            // Set the access level
            teamMemberShr.AccessLevel = 'read';
            
            
            // Set the Apex sharing reason for hiring manager and recruiter
            teamMemberShr.RowCause = Schema.Project_Form__Share.RowCause.Project_Team_Member_1__c;
            
            
            // Add objects to list for insert
            ProjectFormShrs.add(teamMemberShr);
            
        }
    insert ProjectFormShrs;

Give that a try. Hope this solves your problem. Good Luck!

So when using a trigger you can only go up 1 parent level I believe, not to a grandparent like you are attempting in this case. So the trick is we have to find a way to run some queries on the trigger using the ids returned from creating the records.
So what I did was instead of using the trigger.new in the for loop I created a list of the records like-a-so:
List<Project_Form__c> pfList = trigger.new;

I then cast that list to a set just like-a-so:
Set<Id> resultIds = (new Map<Id,SObject>(pfList)).keySet();

From here you can either create a new list using the id's in that set as your where in clause such as like-a-so:
List<Project_Form__c> pfList2 ([Select Id, Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c From Project_Form__c Where Id in :resultIds])
that way when you loop over your second list you will be able to get access to the Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1 field.

Otherwise you can query into a map like-a-so:
Map<Id,Project_Form__c> pfMap = new Map<Id,Project_Form__c>([Select Id, Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c From Project_Form__c Where Id in :resultIds]);

Then use the trigger list we first created in your for loop
for(Project_Form__c ProjectForm : pfList){
         then that way if you have more fields you need access too later you wont have to keep updating the above query and you can access them all ... like-a-so:
String userOrGroupId = pfMap.get(ProjectForm.Id).Costpoint_Project__r.Project_Team_Member_1__c;
}


Hope this helps.

Hey Bryan,
          Thanks a lot for your help buddy !!! From your response , I got the reson why the code is not working . But somehow I am bit confused how to implement your solution in my code. If it is not too much of a trouble for you , can you please make changes in my code and give me the alternate approaches. If you can help me with that , that would be really great.

I really appreciate your help and support. Thanks for your time!!!
