Trigger to update a child custom object from a parent (Account) record

Dear all,

 

I am trying to write a simple trigger that will update child custom object fields from a parent (Account) record.

When I save the record it seems to make the fields null. Can anyone suggest anything? Probably something very simple I just can't see it.

 

trigger ElecPassME1ME2Team on Electricity_Meter__c (after insert, after update) {

    For(Electricity_Meter__c Elec: Trigger.New){
        Elec.Sales_Team__c = Elec.Account__r.Team_s_Dept_s__c;
        Elec.ME1__c = Elec.Account__r.ME1__c;
        Elec.ME2__c = Elec.Account__r.ME2__c;  
    }

Hi,

 

Thanks for your help and quick response. It works!!

 

Can I ask what I was doing wrong?

 

I see you have added a list with nested SOQL query.

Hi

    You have written this line

       Elec.Sales_Team__c = Elec.Account__r.Team_s_Dept_s__c;

       This is just a field binding . if you require a perticular  value of Account record  then You need to specify by writting Query .

       Anyways your problem is solved that;s a big thing I think .

 

 

 

Thanks
