Hi,

When cloning a FeedItem :

FeedItem item = f.Clone(false,true);
insert item;

The Body property lose all @Mentions and /RecordLinks. It is converted as plain text.

I found this KB explaining how to post @Mentions in a FeedItem. I could look for @Mention and /RecordLinks in the body and "convert" them. But it would not work in situation where multiple records have the same name.

There was an old topic on this with no answers and a lot of things changed since. Has anyone found a solution ?

Regards,

VT.

Hi,

I'm trying to write an Apex code which will create a chatter post on an account when someone post on an opportunity related to this account.
I'm not very experienced in Apex, this is where I am so far :
 

trigger Post_to_parent on FeedItem (after insert) {
  
    for (feeditem f : trigger.new){
        String ParentID = f.ParentId;

        if (ParentID.startsWith('006')){
            List<Opportunity> lstOppts = [select AccountID from Opportunity where id=:f.parentid];
            FeedItem item = new FeedItem(
            parentId = lstOppts[0].id,
            body = '<p>test clone</p>',
            isRichText = true);
            
            insert item;      
        }
    }
}

It fails because it loops recursively. I don't understand why since it create a post only when the chatter post is related to an opportunity and the code itself create a chatter post related to an account.

Could anyone give me a clue on what is going wrong ?

Thanks.

VT.
