sales4ce Trigger Not compiling
Hello,
I have written a simple trigger, but it does not compile for some reason.
I have a checkbox on my Campaign object called "High_Campaign__c" and a custom field of type text "Testing__c"
whenever the "High_Campaign__c" is checked i want to populate some text into custom field.
how do i check if a checkbox is checked or not? (like checkbox.checked=true).
Am i doing anything wrong?
The error is: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.Exception: Record is read-only: Trigger.TasksfornewMembers: line 6, column 12
Here is the code:
trigger TasksfornewMembers on Campaign (after Insert,after update) {
for(Campaign c: Trigger.New)
{
if(c.High_Campaign__c=True)
c.Testing__c='Hi I am Checked';
}
}
If you are gonna edit the record you just created, i suggest doing it on Before Insert, within the trigger modify it so that when it resolves changes are also impacted on the record being created. This way you create a X record, it triggers the on before, you modify it and its created with the modifications.

trigger TasksfornewMembers on Campaign (after Insert,after update) { for(Campaign c: Trigger.New) { if(c.High_Campaign__c==True) c.Testing__c='Hi I am Checked'; } }Notice the "==" instead of "="
You were assigning a value instead of comparing :) .
Double = means compare if its value is equal to, one = is assign value to variable.
Hope this helps you,

Hi Gaston,
Infact it was '==' and still it raises the same error. i am little confused.
I see the error/exception as Record is read only.But to my surprise i have all permissions enabled on my profile. Infact i am using System admin profile.
When deactivate the trigger it is working fine. i can edit it...
Still am i missing anything?
Thanks,
