if yes please send the code
Shrikant BagalShrikant Bagal

Use following code:


trigger accountTestTrggr on Account (before insert, before update) {
for(Account acc : Trigger.new)
{
     if(acc.MailingCity == null)
    {
            acc.addError('Mailing City Should not be Empty');
    }
}
}

Advice:

why you are not using Validation rule or Use PageLayout Required / Field Level required Options.

Hope its help!!
Thanks!

HI Venky ,

Hi Venky ,
Srikant is correct basically you should go for other option as you have .
Still as you want that ,you can write trigger in two different ways to get error in two different level .

Please try with below code it will help !!
  
//Error will display in field level
trigger ValidationTrigger on Account (before insert,before update) {
   for(Account acc :Trigger.new){
     if (acc.Type == null)
     acc.Type.addError('Type Mandatory ');
   }
}
//Error will display in record level
trigger ValidationTrigger on Account (before insert,before update) {
   for(Account acc :Trigger.new){
	if (acc.Type == null)
     acc.addError('Type Mandatory');
   }
}
Let me know if it helps !!
Thanks
Manoj
