Melissa Mueller 9 Trigger name exists on different SObject type: Quote
Trigger name exists on different SObject type: Quote
I had a trigger that I initially wanted to work just before a Quote is saved, but we decided to move the trigger to the Opportunity object instead of the quote. I had originally set it up like this:
Error: Compile Error: Trigger name exists on different SObject type: Quote at line 1 column 1
I found a post about this that suggested not using the developer console and instead going to setup>develop>apex triggers and editing it their directly. I did that and still receive the same error.
Another post suggested that I chang the name of the trigger so I added the number two to the end of the trigger name and still receive the same error.
Both Quote and Opportunity are standard objects so I am sure there is no problem with the object names.
Any ideas?????
I had a trigger that I initially wanted to work just before a Quote is saved, but we decided to move the trigger to the Opportunity object instead of the quote. I had originally set it up like this:
trigger PSGProjectDeleteTrigger on Quote (before update) {
for(Quote quoteSelected : Trigger.new){ CODE TO COMPLETE WHEN TRIGGER FIRES }
I was able to save the trigger like that, but when I went back to it and changed it to :
trigger PSGProjectDeleteTrigger on Opportunity (before update) {
for(Opportunity projectSelected : Trigger.new){ CODE TO COMPLETE WHEN TRIGGER FIRES }
I receive the following error:Error: Compile Error: Trigger name exists on different SObject type: Quote at line 1 column 1

Can you copy (backup) the trigger code to a text file and delete the original trigger first?
And, the recreate the trigger again on Opportunity object?
Don't forget to change the object name in the code you have copied.
