Task Object Related To custom object

HI,

 

The documentation tells me that i can create a task object which is related to an custom object by using the WhatID field. Is i creat a task via DML and link it to my custom object ID the insert will fail because of 'Related To: Opportunity/Account ID: id value of incorrect type: a04A000000Bj8wJIAR'. 

 

Has someone experience with this and is there a way to do this without any custom objects...?

 

Thanks,

Sten

Check your custom object (Setup > Create > Objects > Edit (Object Name) ) and check the "Allow activities" checkbox. WIthout this box checked, you can't assign a task or event to that type of object.

I am running in to this problem for a couple of weeks, can you guys help me out. I have a custom object called CC Card, I want the trigger to execute only if the task is logged under this object and has a certain subject line. If both these conditions meet, I want to update few fields on this custom object. I am very much new to triggers but this is what i have managed to do so far, don't know how to proceed further..

 

trigger triggerFromTaskToCCCard on Task (after update) {

//Memory allocations for this trigger.

List<Task> TaskRecords = new List<Task>();
Set<Id> setCCCardID = new Set<Id>();

// Combine old and new trigger records into a single list.
if(Trigger.new!=null)
TaskRecords.addAll(Trigger.new);
if(Trigger.old!=null)
TaskRecords.addAll(Trigger.old);


// Collect all Related To (WhatId) values.
for(Task aTask:TaskRecords)
setCCCardID.add(aTask.WhatId);

 

 

Any help will be highly appreciated, thanks..

Nice post. Thanks for sharing. If you add a custom object to the 'Related To' lookup for an Event or Task. In order for a Custom Object to show in the 'Related To' Lookup list for an Event or Task, the 'Allow Activities' (Track Activities) check-box must be checked in the Custom Object Definition.
