guenthmn How to figure out in a trigger if the the information is entered via the UI or API?
I looked at useing the Trigger.isApi() call as well as Trigger.isUI(), but the Trigger compiler does not appear to understand these two methods/Fields (booleans?).
I simply want a field/property I can query to tell me who is the author: UI or external process.
Can someone provide a hint on how to figure out in a trigger if the the information is entered via the UI or API
Thanks,
Matt
I don't believe either of these methods you mention exist, at least, I can not find them in the documentation.
The only way I have figured out to cover this is to add a field to the object for tracking this. Set a default value for it on the page layout, (this would be UI) and when you do DML on records via Apex, set it to a different value. Then your trigger can look at that field and you can take the appropriate action.
