Creating a New Record in the Same Object

I am wortking on a conversion tool for a custom object (Customer Bulk Density). the thought process is that if a user create a bulk density record in Lbs/ft3, Salesforce will create a duplicate record in Kg/m3. Currently I am trying to write the trigger to create the new record, but am running into the following error:

 

Error: Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: Customer_Bulk_Density__c.put(Id, SOBJECT:Customer_Bulk_Density__c) at line 15 column 7

 

Below is the code:

 

trigger BulkDensityConversion on Customer_Bulk_Density__c (after insert) {
    Set<Id> bIds = new Set<Id>();
    for(Customer_Bulk_Density__c c:trigger.new){
    bIds.add(c.id);
    }
    
    System.debug('****1 : B Id size '+ bIds.size());
    List<Customer_Bulk_Density__c> c = [Select id, name, Customer_Product__c, Customer_Product_2__c, Customer_Product_3__c from Customer_Bulk_Density__c where id in:bIds];
    
    System.debug('****2 : b size '+ bIds.size());
    if (c.size() > 0) {
    List <Customer_Bulk_Density__c> design= new List <Customer_Bulk_Density__c>();
    Map<id, Customer_Bulk_Density__c> capacity = new map<id, Customer_Bulk_Density__c>();
    for(Customer_Bulk_Density__c m: c) {
      Customer_Bulk_Density__c.put(m.id, m);
    }
    
    //Loop through the records and create a Bulk Density Record

    Id n1;

        for(Customer_Bulk_Density__c y : trigger.new) {
        n1 = bulk.get(y.id).WhatId;
        
        Customer_Bulk_Density__c s = new Customer_Bulk_Density__c(
        Name = trigger.new[0].name,
        Customer_Product__c=trigger.new[0].Customer_Product__c,
        Customer_Product_2__c=trigger.new[0].Customer_Product_2__c,
        Customer_Product_3__c=trigger.new[0].Customer_Product_3__c
        );
        
        insert s;


       }
        
    }
    }

 

How do I solve this error?

You're trying to call put() as a static method.  Did you, perhaps, intend to put it in the map you'd just created, like:

capacity.put(m.id, m);

 

There are several things I don't understand about what you're trying to do.  The first query (line 8) appears to be doing a query to get a list of objects identical to what's already in trigger.new.  Seems like you could just as easily say:

List<Customer_Bulk_Density__c> c = trigger.new;

to avoid the query.

 

When you're looping through trigger.new and creating bulk density records, you refer to trigger.new[0], instead of having a loop counter, like:

for (integer i=0; i < trigger.new.size(); i++) {

  ...

  Name=trigger.new[i].name

  ...

}

 

finally, you insert each new record individually.  You'll really want to add them to a list, and have just one insert call after the for loop that just inserts the whole list.

This line:

      Customer_Bulk_Density__c.put(m.id, m);

Should be

      capacity.put(m.id, m);

See if it works now.
