Hi, I am not a developer. I need to write trigger on opportunity object, opp name should be auto populate accountname:oppname entered by user

Hi, I am not a developer. I need to write trigger on opportunity object,  opp name should be auto populate accountname:oppname entered by user.
requirement is
company has decided to have the Opportunity naming convention as “<Account Name>: <Opportunity Name>”. For example, if the opportunity is pertaining to 200 laptops, from Account ABC, the Opportunity naming convention should be “ABC: 200 laptops”. However, do not mandate this to be filled in as such by users. Instead, automatically update the Opportunity name as <Account Name>: <Opportunity Name> if someone creates the Opportunity without Account Name already in it.

Hi Sujatha,

I don't think you need a trigger for that. You can do it with worflow itself.

Workflow Rule:

Workflow Field Update:

Thanks,
Sowmya.
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Tried with work flow didn't work. Does it need time based trigger. Can you please inform how to create work flow for this. I created when on opportunity account name is null and opportunity name is not null then update opportunity name field only on create, but didn't update when I created new opportunity
sowmya Inturi 9sowmya Inturi 9
Hi Sujatha,
1. Opportunity Account Name Should not be null (Should take Account Name NOT null).
2. No need of taking Opportunity Name condition as it is a mandatory field.
3. Make sure that you activated your workflow rule.



Thanks,
Sowmya.
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Hi Sowmya, Thank you. I activated workflow rule. However, account name is too long how to trim it before update opp name field with accountname.oppname and only one workflow rule to be active is this per object? Thank you SUjatha
sowmya Inturi 9sowmya Inturi 9
Hi Sujatha,
You want to shorten the Account Name?
If it is your requirement, How much exactly you need your Account Name length should be? 


Thanks,
Sowmya.
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Should be the first word in account name up to 10 char

Hi Ankit, Thank you for the code. However, When I converted lead then opportunity name is as below [cid:311f9979-c46f-46e1-8e57-048f92ba68b0] But when I create an opportunity manually without selecting account name in it and enter opp name = xyz then opp name is not updated with accountname:xyz I am not sure how to interpret the requirement in the first place. it says if opportunity is pertaining to 200 laptops then abc:200 laptops will be opp name. is this mean i have to have a custom field to have number of products and then accountname:number of products will be opp name from web to lead and convert lead process. How about manual opportunity creation when I don't enter account name how will this know that this opportunity for for what account? Thank you Sujatha
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Hi Sowmya, Thank you for your replies. However, did I interpret the requirement corectly. please read it and if you understand more can you please explain to me. Thanks for your help Sujatha

You have mentioned only one scenario before, let me know the requirement in details.

Thanks

Hi Ankit, requirement is company has decided to have the Opportunity naming convention as “: ”. For example, if the opportunity is pertaining to 200 laptops, from Account ABC, the Opportunity naming convention should be “ABC: 200 laptops”. However, do not mandate this to be filled in as such by users. Instead, automatically update the Opportunity name as : if someone creates the Opportunity without Account Name already in it. my concern is when there is no account name entered how does the update knows which account name it should link to opportunity? Thank you

Hi Sujatha,
What if there are multiple products (ex: Mobiles & Laptops) for an opportunity? Should it be 200 Laptops 100 Mobiles Account Name?


Thanks,
Sowmya

This is what i did not really understand I think this feature is available in lightening. Need more clarification on this one.
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Hi Sowmya, in lightening I found when I convert lead opportunity name is auto populating to companyname company name - and we need to enter after - whatever we want to but the requirement this should auto populate. do you have any idea?
sowmya Inturi 9sowmya Inturi 9
Hi Sujatha,
That feature is there in Classic also. If you convert any lead a new opportunity is created with the Account Name. 
But What exactly you need? You want to auto populate your Opportunity Name with  Account Name + Opportunity Name or you want something else to be populated there?


Thanks,
Sowmya
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula

You can create a new workflow for lead.
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Is this mean one active workflow per object? correct? how to do auto update for opportunity name then I am trying to add it as field update on opportunity rule but all 3 are trigerred. I only want this one to happen or the other two when opportunity is lost please advise
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Hi Somya, I cannot find Assign using assignment rule check box on lead in lightening. It was there is classic and working fine. I cannot also see edit button on lightening on lead details. I can click on any field edit pencil icon and update all and save. I have checked page layout in lightening and this check box is not there to bring on to page layout. Is this bug? also when i try to map lead custom fields to opportunity some fiedls are not displayed. for example i have created product category and selected products pick lists on lead and try to map these values to opportunity same fields but i can map product category but nothing shown in opportunity for selected products on opportuntiy drop down to map. can you please clarify. Thank you Sujatha
sujatha dhanekulasujatha dhanekula
Sowmya, thank you for your help. Requirement is when opportunity name is not in required format whet entered or edited it should update to required format. Is this work flow or can I combine this with opportunity related requirements and make a process builder? Or can this be formula which I doubt
sowmya Inturi 9sowmya Inturi 9
Hi,
If your requirement is the same you can do it with workfllow itself.
Please replace your workflow rule with the below code
AND(Account.Name!= Null, NOT(CONTAINS( Name ,LEFT(Account.Name, 10) +' : ')) )

and your workflow field update with this:
LEFT(Account.Name, 10) +' : '+ Name

Mark it as a best answer if it satisfies your requirement.


Thanks,
Sowmya.

Modify your Rule criteria as:
User-added image

And FieldUpdate with the below formula:
IF(AND(NOT( ISCHANGED( AccountId ) ) ,NOT(CONTAINS( Name ,Account.Name +' : ')) ),Account.Name &' : '& Name,IF(AND( ISCHANGED(AccountId) ,NOT(CONTAINS( Name ,Account.Name +' : ')) ),Account.Name+' : '+SUBSTITUTE(Name, LEFT(Name, FIND(":", Name)), ''),Name))
