How to clone the Records Using Record Type Id Based on Opportunity Sobject Using Triggers

trigger cloningopportunity on Opportunity (after insert) {

set<id> oid = new set<id>();
RecordType record =[select id from RecordType where name='1*2'];
for(Opportunity opp : Trigger.new)
{
if(opp.RecordTypeId == record.Id)
{
oid.add(opp.Id);
System.debug('cloningvalues:' + oid);
}

}
list<Opportunity> olist = [select id,Name,CloseDate,StageName,RecordTypeId from Opportunity Where Id in:oid];

for(Opportunity opps :olist)
{
Opportunity o = new Opportunity();
o.Name=opps.Name;
o.CloseDate=opps.CloseDate;
o.StageName=opps.StageName;
o.RecordTypeId =opps.RecordTypeId ;
System.debug('cloningvalues1:'+o.StageName );
insert o;

Hi arjun,

here is your trigger calls recursively because of that error occurs. you have to use static variable and class to handle this issue as below.

Apex trigger:

trigger cloningopportunity on Opportunity (after insert) {
    if(clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert == false) {
        return;
    }
	set<id> oid = new set<id>();
	RecordType record =[select id from RecordType where name='1*2'];
	for(Opportunity opp : Trigger.new){
		if(opp.RecordTypeId == record.Id){
			oid.add(opp.Id);
			System.debug('cloningvalues:' + oid);
		}
	}
	list<Opportunity> olist = [select id,Name,CloseDate,StageName,RecordTypeId from Opportunity Where Id in:oid];
	if(clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert == true) {
		for(Opportunity opps :olist){
			Opportunity o = new Opportunity();
			o.Name=opps.Name;
			o.CloseDate=opps.CloseDate;
			o.StageName=opps.StageName;
			o.RecordTypeId =opps.RecordTypeId ;
			System.debug('cloningvalues1:'+o.StageName );
			insert o;
		}
		clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert = false;
	}
}

 

Apex class:

Public Class clsStaticVar {
    Public Static Boolean blnIsOppInsert = true;
}

Hi arjun,

i have made one change in trigger now it will works fine try this one.

Apex trigger:

trigger cloningopportunity on Opportunity (after insert) {
    if(clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert == false) {
        return;
    }
    set<id> oid = new set<id>();
    for(Opportunity opp : Trigger.new){
        if(opp.Name == 'Test'){
            oid.add(opp.Id);
            System.debug('cloningvalues:' + oid);
        }
    }
    list<Opportunity> olist = [select id,Name,CloseDate,StageName from Opportunity Where Id in:oid];
    if(clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert == true) {
        clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert = false;
        for(Opportunity opps :olist){
            Opportunity o = new Opportunity();
            o.Name=opps.Name;
            o.CloseDate=opps.CloseDate;
            o.StageName=opps.StageName;
           
            System.debug('cloningvalues1:'+o.StageName );
            insert o;
        }        
    }
}

  Apex Class:

Public Class clsStaticVar {
    Public Static Boolean blnIsOppInsert = true;
}

However......I keep getting the error:

Hi arjun,

 

write this line clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert = false; above the for(Opportunity opps :olist){ line...

Hi venkat,

 

Here is the sample example of test class for your trigger.

@istest
public class Testcloningopportunity {
    Private Static testmethod void Testcloningopportunity(){
		RecordType objRecType  =[select id from RecordType where name='1*2'];
		
		Opportunity objOpp = new Opportunity();
		objOpp.Name = 'Test Opp';
		objOpp.RecordTypeId = objRecType.id;
		objOpp.CloseDate = system.today();
		objOpp.StageName = 'Closed Won';
		insert objOpp;
	}
}

Hi hitesh,

 

               can you explain what is the need of this clsStaticVar.blnIsOppInsert = false; statement when cloning the opportunity.

 

 

Thanks in Advance

@Mandadi

 

It is a static variable which is used to stop to call trigger recursively.
