Dynamically changing value of custom picklist field

I have a picklist field with values 'Yes', 'No'

On the web portal if a user uploads a document, I want the picklist value to change from 'No' to 'yes'.

If the value is already 'Yes', keep it as 'Yes'.

Can someone please shed light on how I can achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

I suppose you have a controller to the vf page. In the upload button action method in controller  rite this condition

public Blob fileContent{get; set;}

SObject sc = new SObject();

//in the uploadbutton action method

 public void uploadAction(){
	
     if(fileContent != null && sc.picklist = 'No'){
        sc.picklist = 'Yes';
     }
}

 This is as per my understanding of the issue. if there is more info you want specifically can you give more detailed description of the case and please put the controller code and VF code.

Yeah,

 

You would have to check the Blob value is null or not null . On the basis of that you can change the picklist value to Yes in your apex code .

If you are not using the VF page then you would have to write trigger and need to check the documents uploaded and then can take decesion..

 

Please provide more detailsif  you are not ok with solns.

 

Thanks.

I am sure the value must be changing but the problem is its not getting updated to the database. You have to update the Sobject after the change in the picklist. 

 

public PageReference divSubmit(){
        this.diversityPanelSwitch = false;
        this.cntrDiversityList = new List<DiversityWrapper>();     
        supplierRecordsInitialization();
        resetDivPageFlags();
        if (this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c != 'Yes')this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c = 'Yes';
        return null;
    }

 

 

For this code

I see that you are not updating the object after you have changed the field to Yes. Please put a System.debug(this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c) statement after the if code. put the if code in braces and then put a debug statement. and check in the debug logs.
if (this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c != 'Yes'){

          this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c = 'Yes';
          System.debug(this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse__c);
}

CodeFinder, thanks heaps!!! You are right I was't updating the Supplier object.  I added update Supplier and that  solved my problem. 

 

if (this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Divers​e__c != 'Yes'){

          this.Supplier.Is_your_company_certified_as_Diverse​__c = 'Yes';
          update Supplier;
}

 

Thanks, once again.
