Hi All,

I am attemption to update a field of a child object of a master detail .

Here is the code:

public static void createAccountManager(List<SellerAuctionItem__c> triggerNewList){
      
        List<string> AuctionSet = new List<String>();
        for (SellerAuctionItem__c item : triggerNewList) {
            if(item.Auction__c != null){
                AuctionSet.add(item.Auction__r.Name);
                system.debug('Name' +AuctionSet);
            }
        }
        
        Map<String, Auctions__c> mapAuction = new Map<String,Auctions__c>([Select Name , Account_Manager__c From Auctions__c  WHERE Name IN:AuctionSet ]);
        system.debug('Name and account manager' +mapAuction);
        for (SellerAuctionItem__c item : triggerNewList) {
            if(item.Account_Manager__c == Null){

Try this code
public class SubmitApproval {

public static void createAccountManager(List<SellerAuctionItem__c> triggerNewList){
      
        List<string> AuctionSet = new List<String>();
        for (SellerAuctionItem__c item : triggerNewList) {
            if(item.Auction__c != null){
                AuctionSet.add(item.Auction__c);
                system.debug('Name' +AuctionSet);
            }
        }
        
        Map<Id, Auctions__c> mapAuction = new Map<Id,Auctions__c>([Select Name , Account_Manager__c From Auctions__c  WHERE Id IN:AuctionSet ]);
        system.debug('Name and account manager' +mapAuction);
        for (SellerAuctionItem__c item : triggerNewList) {
            if(item.Account_Manager__c == Null){
            item.Account_Manager__c = mapAuction.get(item.Auction__c).Account_Manager__c;
            }    }

    }   
}

Hi Akash,
The problem is, You're trying to traverse on parent object and fetching its name field, 
 AuctionSet.add(item.Auction__r.Name);
If its a Handler class of trigger and you're passing Trigger.New to createAccountManager method as argument, you must need to query, you can't traverse like that.

Hi Nishant,

The code worked, but instead of the name it fetched the ID.
