Hi ,

 

Below solution is a simple one, this cannot be used for bulk records updates

 

trigger updateAssetsOwnedStatus on Contact (after insert, after update) {
//I am assuming the API name of the field on the Contacts as Assets_Owned__c and the Status field as assets_Status__c
if(trigger.new[0].Assets_Owned__c !=null){

Assets_Owned__c assetsOwned = [select id, assets_status__c from assets_owned__c where id=:trigger.new[0].Assets_Owned__c];
assetsOwned.assets_status__c = 'Assigned';

update assetsOwned;
}

}

 

Hope this helps!

trigger updateAssetsOwnedStatus on Contact (after insert, after update) {
    //I am assuming the API name of the field on the Contacts as Assets_Owned__c and the Status field as assets_Status__c
    if(trigger.new[0].Assets_Owned__c !=null){

        Assets_Owned__c assetsOwned = [select id, assets_status__c from assets_owned__c where id=:trigger.new[0].Assets_Owned__c];
        assetsOwned.assets_status__c = 'Assigned';
        update assetsOwned;
    }

    if( trigger.isUpdate && trigger.old[0].assets_owned__c !=null && trigger.old[0].assets_owned__c != trigger.new[0].Assets_Owned__c){
        Assets_Owned__c assetsOwnedOld = [select id, assets_status__c from assets_owned__c where id=:trigger.old[0].Assets_Owned__c];
        assetsOwnedOld.assets_status__c = 'Instock';
        update assetsOwnedOld;
    }
}

 

 

I think this will work, Please try it out. Again this cannot be used for bulk records.
