RadDude89 Updating parent record using child record
Hi,
I'm looking into creating a process in which Salesforce will update the parent record if a field on the child has the value 'Rejected'.
So we have a parent object - Offer and child - Offer SIte.
Then if the field Status__c on Offer Site = 'Rejected', I want to apply the same value to a field called Status on Offer automatically once the field on Offer site is updated.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm not too sure on how I can write this into trigger as my experience with triggers is basic
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
You can use process builder to update parent record from child.
Create a process builder on child object and update parent object, here I am using account and contact.
Created process builder on contact and updating account status field when contact status is rejected.
Please find below screenshots for reference.
Please let me know, if any info needed.

Hi Dayakar,
Thanks for the response - I've tried to create this using the process builder but the field that I need to update on the parent object is not available for selection - it actually looks like there are a lot of fields from that object which can't be selected.
Is there something I'm missing on permissions or settings which means that field is not available?
please find below screenshot for reference.
In the above screenshot Account Backup> is lookup if you select it will show all fields in that object,here we should select Account Backup (your parent object name).
Please let me know, if you need more info.
