jhelbling Reference an object field using a variable
Hello,
The following will work :
Map<ID,Account> m = new Map<ID,Account>{};
(insert values into m)
m.get(id).get("fieldName") = "a value";
Now I would like to use "fieldName" in the following, but it won't work :
Map<ID,Account> m = new Map<ID,Account>{};
m.put(id, new Account(id=id, "fieldName"="a value"));
Does anybody have a workaround ?
Is it somehow possible to create a new object by referencing a field name using a variable ?
Thank you very much.
You can't use variables in an SObject constructor for the field. Instead, you have to perform the action post-construction, such as:
m.get(id).put("fieldname","a value");
