Tristan Jones opportunity__r.Name coming up blank in task from Apex trigger
Hi,
I'm trying to have the subject field of a task that is triggered in a custom object using an Apex trigger populate with the the name of the opportunity the object is related to. I can get the unique ID to show when i reference the lookup field in the custom object ('opportunity__c') but when I use 'object__r.name' it comes up blank. Does anyone know what could be causing this? My trigger code is:
trigger TaskAllocation on Action__c (after insert) {
List<Task> taskList = new List <Task>();
for (Action__c a:Trigger.New)
{
{
Task t = new Task();
t.OwnerID = a.Action_owner__c;
t.WhatId = a.Id;
t.Subject = a.opportunity__r.Name;
t.description = a.action__c;
t.Status = 'Not Started';
t.ActivityDate = a.deadline__c;
t.priority = 'Normal';
taskList.add(t);
}
}
if(taskList.size()>0)
insert taskList;
}
Cheers,
Tristan

You have to query opportunity__r.Name using SOQL.Trigger.new list doesn't contain opportunity__r.Name(Action object nested related information) information.It contains only Action object information.Please use below code.
trigger TaskAllocation on Action__c (after insert) { List<Task> taskList = new List <Task>(); for (Action__c a:[select Action_owner__c,Id,opportunity__r.Name,action__c, deadline__c from Action__C where Id in :trigger.newmap.keyset()]) { { Task t = new Task(); t.OwnerID = a.Action_owner__c; t.WhatId = a.Id; t.Subject = a.opportunity__r.Name; t.description = a.action__c; t.Status = 'Not Started'; t.ActivityDate = a.deadline__c; t.priority = 'Normal'; taskList.add(t); } } if(taskList.size()>0) insert taskList; }Regards,
