Hi,

 

Try the following code:

 

 trigger suman on Job_Application__c (after update) { 
List<Job_Application__c> jbApp = new List<Job_Application__c>();
 for(Job_Application__c stud:Trigger.new){
 if(stud.Status__c=='Extend an offer'){
  Job_Application__c st = [Select id,Status__c,Master_Id__c from Job_Application__c  where id=:stud.Master_Id__c];

if(st.Status__c!='Rejected')

{
  st.Status__c = 'Rejected';

jbApp.add(st);

}
if(jbApp.size()>0)

update jbApp;
  }
 }
 }

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Create a Custom "Clone" button and do a URL Override. Sample URL below:

 

/{!Contact.Id}/e?clone=1&retURL=%2F{!Contact.Id}&00N80000004fIVg=Sample

 

Add the Custom Clone button to the page layout.

 

Where 00N80000004fIVg is the Id of field that needs to be prepopulated. In your case, this would be Id of Status field.

              Sample is the value to be pre-populated in the field.

 

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Thanks

I dont want to change the status at the time of cloning the record i want to change the status of tha record(From which we r cloning)  based on cloned record status means if the cloned record status is approved then i want to automatically change the status of the record(from which we r cloning) to Completed.

Hi,

 

Then in that case, override the Clone Button with the VF page. The VF page should have nothing but the 'action' in the Page tab. In the 'action' method, check if the record to be clone has a particular value, accordingly pre-poulate and redirect.

Hi,

 

Actually there are 2 cases

 

1.Record should be clone

 

2. After that clone record should go for approval and once the cloned record status is approved then at that time automatically the record from which we r cloning status should change to complete.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Follow the below steps:

 

1. Using the above steps, clone the record and redirect to the record clone page

2. Create an approval process as per your requirement.

3. On click of save button, write a trigger "afterInsert" and invoke the approval process from the Trigger/Apex class which is invoked from Trigger.

4. In your case,  as you need to change the Status of record from which you are cloning, you need to have a field to identify from which record it has been cloned. So have a hidden field that stores the ID of the record from which you are cloning.

5. Once the cloned record is approved, have a "AfterUpdate" trigger, that checks if the record status is "Approved".

If so, using the hidden field, it takes the ID of the master record(from which u r cloning) and updates the master record status accordingly.

 

Will this work?

Hi,

 

But how we can capture the Id of a record from which we are cloning to the cloned record is there any way to catch the id without making any relationship .

 

And This trigger will automatically invoke the approval process while saving the record i want that approval process should be started by user after pressing subit for approval button.

 

Then the status and all should change.

 

Thanks!!!!

Hi,

 

Workaround to capture the cloned record Id, is to create a field and prepopulate the value for this field with the Master Record Id through the URL. So the record will automatically have the Master Record Id.

Hi,

 

I am writing below trigger to update the status of master record but its not working what change i need to do.

 

  trigger suman on Job_Application__c (after update) {
 

 for(Job_Application__c stud:Trigger.new){
 if(stud.Status__c=='Extend an offer'){
  Job_Application__c st = [Select id,Status__c,Master_Id__c from Job_Application__c  where id=:stud.Master_Id__c];
  st.Status__c = 'Rejected';
  update st;
  }
 }
 
 }

 

Here Master_Id__c is the field in child record where i am saving the id of master record .Now how i need to use the trigger.

 

Please tell me what change i need to do in this trigger.

Hi,

 

Its showing following exception

 

Apex trigger suman caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: suman: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.QueryException: List has no rows for assignment to SObject: Trigger.suman: line 5, column 1

 

what is the problem?

 

Thanks!!!!
SurekaSureka

Hi,

 

Do the following check before the query:

 

if(stud.Status__c=='Extend an offer' && stud.Master_Id__c!=null)

{
  Job_Application__c st = [Select id,Status__c,Master_Id__c from Job_Application__c  where id=:stud.Master_Id__c];....

.............................

 

}

Hi,

 

Refer to APEX pdf for the test method format.

 

In your case, follow the below logic:

 

1. Insert a Job Application Record - Eg. JR1

2. Insert another Job Application Record - Eg. JR2 , populating Master_Id__c field with JR1 and Status as "Extend an offer"

 

Test method is done.

 

Thanks
