Apex Data Loader Export

Hi,

 

Is there any way to update an object's field when we are exporting data using Apex Data Loader? I mean can we write any trigger or workflow to update the object's field? Or a trigger gets executed only during inserts/updates??

Thank you.

A trigger cannot execute Apex code when querying data. Only on the 4 following events : creation (insert), edit (update/upsert), delete, undelete.

You will have to code your update based on the data you will have extracted => do a second round as an "update" using dataloader
