execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.Exception: Record is read-only:

Error when I save a record The trigger is triggered but with an error :  "execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.Exception: Record is read-only: "

I'm trying to make an update after insert. And I'm ADMIN and the record is not read-only. Did anybody had an error like this one ?

Hi,

We cannot update record using Trigger.new context variable in after insert trigger.
To update record in after insert trigger, you have to use SOQL and DML Statement.

Hope this would help.

I have a similar situation and have tried using a SOQL query and DML update function but am still getting the error message. Please see code below and give me any suggestions.

 

 

trigger insertPIOPrec on Contact (after insert, after update) 
{
for (Contact c:Trigger.new){
If (c.PI_Ongoing_Participation__c == null){
PI_Ongoing_Participation__c p = new PI_Ongoing_Participation__c(Contact__c = c.Id);
p.Contact__c = c.Id;
insert p;
List<PI_Ongoing_Participation__c> insertedpiops = [SELECT Id, Contact__c FROM PI_Ongoing_Participation__c p WHERE Contact__c = :c.id];
for (Integer i = 0; i < Trigger.new.size(); i++){
if (Trigger.new[i].PI_Ongoing_Participation__c == null){
Trigger.new[i].PI_Ongoing_Participation__c = insertedpiops[i].Id;
update Trigger.new[i];
}
else{}
}
// c.PI_Ongoing_Participation__c = p.Id;
// update c;


}
else {}
}
}
