ContactShare object contactId not writable???
The below yields Error: Compile Error: Field is not writeable: ContactShare.ContactId at line 5 column 21 This error message must be something different then what it's telling me.
How / Why is contactID not writable?
Just a quick example.... all comments on bad coding practices of not bulk enabling the trigger and hardcoding an id aside.. :)
trigger ContactCheckReferral on Contact (after insert ) { for (Contact c : Trigger.new) { if(c.Consent_to_participate_in_network__c) { ContactShare cs = new ContactShare(); cs.ContactId = cs.id; cs.UserOrGroupId = '00GS0000000Ub0mMAC'; insert cs; } } }
Contact Id, Account ID, Opportunity ID etc are unique Ids assiged to each record by Salesforce. Its a system field so you can't overwrite it.
I understand that ContactId is auto assigned on the Contact Object.. Opp ID is auto assigned on the Opportunity object.. I'm writing to the ContactShare Object.. I have a contact and I want to manually share this contact I have the contactID i want to insert it into ContactShare How does contactshare know what ID to assign if I don't tell it? ie.. How does it know what contact I'm attempting to share via code.. This can't be correct I've seen code snippets that do exactly that. for example http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2009/11/25/programmatically-creating-sharing-rules-with-apex/
We are having the same problem - did you ever figure out a programmatic workaround?
Thanks!
