Hi,

 

At what time do you want to insert values to Member2?

 

Assuming you want to insert valses to Member2 when inserting to Member;

 

You can write a trigger for Member to insert values to Member2.

 

trigger insertMember2 on Member__c (after insert) {
 Set<Id> Ids= new Set<Id>();
    for (Member__c member : Trigger.new)
    {
        Ids.add(member.Id);        
    }
 List<Member__c> memberList = new List<Member__c>([Select Id,FirstName__c,LastName__c  From Member__c e where Id in :Ids]);

	for(Member__c temp : memberList )
	{
		Member2__c member2 = new Member2();
		member2.FirstName__c = temp.FirstName__c;
		member2.LastName__c = temp.LastName__c;
		insert member2;

	}


 }

 

 Above is a example for get an idea.

Thanks Chamil,

This is helpful and I think I've adapted this to my two objects, but I don't know how to create a class that can work with this trigger. Could you offer help there too?
Chamil MadusankaChamil Madusanka

You can create class as normal way. then u can access methods of that class by using a instance of that class.

Thanks Chamil, but I don't know how to create one the normal way. Could you point me to more information about creating that? I'm not a developer but do understand the process however and can adapt blocks of code to my application fairly well if I have a good starting point.

Hey Salesforce Community.

I have a field on the opportunity called DeliveryInstallationStatus__c (text field) and the same field DeliveryInstallationStatus__c on the quote object. I created a Process Builder which copies the info from the opportunity and places it on the quote. It works at the start, but then when I update the field on the opportunity and hit save I get an error. Basically the process builder is failing. 

Is the a way for this to be done in Apex so when the field is edited after the initial entry and then saved the field on the quote object will update and not throw me an error.

Thanks in advance for this help
