Data validation

Hey Folks,

 

Is it possible to validate data in before insert trigger  instead of adding error?

 

Regards..

Hi John,

Data validation on records going through a trigger should be done in the beforeInsert/beforeUpdate events only. 

here is how the code could look like:

 

for (Account acct: trigger.new){
  acct.Description = acct.Description.deleteWhitespace();
}

 

Let me know if that helps
