Unable to query child object records by recently changed name

Hi all, 

I'm having a problem related child objects using SOQL. In preparation for another object that has yet to be created, I made corrections to my custom object name, though now I can only query related child records using the old (wrong) name. My code here shows that now, the system recognizes both:


  
// Query child "Checklist_Item_Junctions__r" even though that is no longer the object's name
List<Checklist_Template__c> templateQuery = [Select Id, Machine_Series__c, (Select Id, Checklist_Template__c, Checklist_Template_Item__c From Checklist_Item_Junctions__r) From Checklist_Template__c];
        
        
        // separately query all "Checklist_Template_Item_Junction__c" records, (the new name of the object)
        List<Checklist_Template_Item_Junction__c> junctionQuery = [Select Id, Checklist_Template__c, Checklist_Template_Item__c From Checklist_Template_Item_Junction__c];
      

This saves successfully, and I have no idea why. There is no longer such an object as "Checklist_Item_Junction__c", but it's requiring that I call it that in my child relationship query.

Hi Jason ,

Try going to the lookup field of custom object and check whether the name of child relationship is correct or not . Rename it with name that you want to use.

Here are some additional screenshots demonstrating that all available object names have been changed:
Fields have been updated



and that there is not also an object called "Checklist Item Junction" in my list of objects anymore:

Change it as below 
  
// Query child "Checklist_Item_Junctions__r" even though that is no longer the object's name
List<Checklist_Template__c> templateQuery = [Select Id, Machine_Series__c, (Select Id, Checklist_Template__r.Name, Checklist_Template_Item__c From Checklist_Item_Junctions__r) From Checklist_Template__c];

Hi Raj,

Nothing happened. It still accepts the old incorrect object name.

In you case , you need to navigate to the checklist template item junction object and find the lookup or master detail field relating to checklist template.

Fyi , when you edit and save the relationship name it may give reference error as your code might be using the old child relationship name , so code commenting will be needed for this.
