Hi Venkat,

Before Context trigger will work in your requirement : - 

Below is code snippet : - 

trigger ContactPopulateTrigger on Contact (before insert, before update ) 
{
  Set<Id> st_AccountId = new Set<Id>();
  for(Contact con : Trigger.new)
     {
        st_AccountId.add(con.AccountId);
     }
     
  Map<Id,Account> mp_Account = new Map<Id,account>([Select Id,Name,AccountSource from Account where Id IN:st_AccountId]);
  
  for(Contact con:Trigger.new)
    {
      if(mp_Account!=null && mp_Account.containsKey(con.AccountId))
         {
            con.FirstName = mp_Account.get(con.AccountId).AccountSource;
         }
   }


}


Here in logic, :-  

1. Contact is child Object

2. Account is Parent Object

3. AccountId is lookup Field on Contact

4. AccountSource is picklist field in parent Object (Account)

5. FirstName is text field on contact which will populate from picklist field on account.

HI Venkat,

Here quote is child,opportunity is parent,change the logic according to your req. 
trigger UpdateAmount on Quote__c (after insert, after update) { //You want it on update too, right?
  Map<ID, Opportunity> parentOpps = new Map<ID, Opportunity>(); //Making it a map instead of list for easier lookup
  List<Id> listIds = new List<Id>();

  for (Quote__c childObj : Trigger.new {
    listIds.add(childObj.Opportunity);
  }

  //Populate the map. Also make sure you select the field you want to update, amount
  //The child relationship is more likely called Quotes__r (not Quote__r) but check
  //You only need to select the child quotes if you are going to do something for example checking whether the quote in the trigger is the latest
  parentOpps = new Map<Id, Opportunity>([SELECT id, amount Name,(SELECT ID, Total_List_Price__c FROM Quotes__r) FROM Opportunity WHERE ID IN :listIds]);

  for (Quote__c quote: Trigger:new){
     Opportunity myParentOpp = parentOpps.get(quote.Opportunity__c);
     myParentOpp.Amount = quote.Total_List_Price__c;
  }

  update parentOpps.values();
}
