Hi Roopa,

There could be scenerios where the user is inserting an account and after that there may be some automation by which the account may get updated. Then what should be Description field.

Thanks,

Hi Roopa,

Can you try the below code.
  
trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before insert,before update) {
    If(Trigger.isinsert && Trigger.isBefore){
        for (Account acc:Trigger.new){
            acc.Description='account is inserted';
        }
    }
    If(Trigger.isupdate && Trigger.isBefore){
        for (Account acc:Trigger.new){
            acc.Description='account is Updated';
        }
    }
}

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,
