Quanchi Apex Trigger
Hello,
I need help with an Apex trigger. I have one custom object connected to the Account object. The custom object keeps track of active items. I need an Apex trigger that populates a field on the main Account object based on what is in the child object. See below.
Account Object | Custom Fields | Text Value | |
Favorite Ice Cream: | Vanilla | ||
Favorite Color: | Green | ||
Favorite Fruit: | Apple | ||
Child Object | Item Name | Active | Type |
Vanilla | Yes | Ice Cream | |
Chocolate | No | Ice Cream | |
Apple | Yes | Fruit | |
Orange | No | Fruit | |
Green | Yes | Color | |
Purple | No | Color | |
Yellow | No | Color | |
Red | No | Color |
So, in this example….since type = Color and Active = Yes, then the text value of “Green” is populated in the Favorite Color field on the Account object. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for any help.
What is the base criteria?
Such as if there is any update on Account then the Account field should be updated or If there is a change in the Child object then the parent record will be updated ...
The fields on the Account page are read only and will be updated only when there is an update, addition or deletion.
