Hi,

i have a trigger on Opportunity that fires "after Update" operation and whenever opportunity stage is "Won".

Also, i have a workflow that is being executed , which updates 5 fields whenever stage of the opportunity is set to "Won".

Due to this workflow update, the trigger is fired again. How can i stop this from happening?

1 thing i can think is:

create  another field (preferably check box) and also update this field to "True" as part of workflow update.

And in my trigger check for the field status as "false".

Any other way we could accomplish this without creating a field?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Trigger code:

trigger createEntitlement on Opportunity (after update) {
  
  List<Entitlement> newEntitlement=New List<Entitlement>();
  Set<Id> oppIds=New Set<Id>();
  
  for(Opportunity op : Trigger.New){
    
    if(op.StageName=='Won' && Trigger.oldMap.get(op.Id).StageName!='Won')
      oppIds.Add(op.Id);
  }
  
  List<Opportunity> oppty=[Select Id,Name,AccountId,CloseDate,Contract_Activation_Date__c From Opportunity Where Id IN:oppIds];
  System.Debug('List Size=='+oppty.size());
  for(Integer i=0;i<oppty.size();i++){
    
    Entitlement ent=New Entitlement();
    String name='Entitlement For-';
    ent.Close_Date__c=oppty[i].CloseDate;
    ent.Contract_Activation_Date__c=oppty[i].Contract_Activation_Date__c;
    ent.AccountId=oppty[i].AccountId;
    ent.Name=name+oppty[i].Name;
    //ent.Status='Active';
    ent.Opportunity__c=oppty[i].Id;
    newEntitlement.Add(ent);
    
  }
  System.debug('Entitlement Size=='+newEntitlement.size());
  Database.insert(newEntitlement);

}

Thanks,
