Get Opportunity Name from OpportunityLineItem

I'm writing a trigger and need to get the Opportunity Name from from OpportunityLineItem. Any help would be appreciated!

elosso,

 

ok - that snapshot helps - you have a lookup to Opportunity which expects an opportunity id rather than the name of the Opportunity.

 

so change your assignment to Opportunity_Name__c like so:

 

        if (impr != null) impr.Opportunity_Name__c = oppLineItem.OpportunityId;

elosso,

It should be available as Opportunity.Name. I don't know offhand whether you'll get that as part of the trigger record. But, if not, you can query it this way:

Select o.Opportunity.Name, o.OpportunityId From OpportunityLineItem o
where Id in :oppLineItemList

elosso,
Try this:

trigger createNewImpression on OpportunityLineItem (after insert) {

    List <Impressions__c> impToInsert = new List <Impressions__c> ();
    List <Id> oppLineItemIds = new List<Id>();
    Map <Id, Impressions__c> oppLineItemIdToImpressionsMap = new Map <Id, Impressions__c>();    for (OpportunityLineItem o : Trigger.new) {
        
        if (o.Product_Family__c == 'Impression') {     
            oppLineItemIds.add(o.Id);
            Impressions__c i = new Impressions__c ();          
            
            //i.Opportunity_Name__c = o.Opportunity.Name;
            i.Bill_Date__c = o.ServiceDate;
            i.Expected_Impressions__c = o.Quantity;
            i.Predicted_Revenue__c = o.TotalPrice;
            oppLineItemIdToImpressionsMap.put(o.Id, i);                        impToInsert.add(i);
        
        }
        
    }
   for (OpportunityLineItem oppLineItem : [Select Opportunity.Name, OpportunityId, Id From OpportunityLineItem where Id in :oppLineItemIds]) {
        Impressions__c impr = oppLineItemIdToImpressionsMap.get(oppLineItem.Id);
        if (impr != null) impr.Opportunity_Name__c = oppLineItem.Opportunity.Name;
   }
   insert impToInsert;

}

Ram,

 

First of all, thank you so much for helping me out. I cannot stress how grateful I am. Unfortunately the code you provided came back with an error:

 

Apex script unhandled trigger exception by user/organization: 00550/00D5000
 
NewImpression: execution of AfterInsert
 
caused by: System.StringException: Invalid id: This is an Impression
 
Trigger.NewImpression: line 24, column 1

 

Note "This is an Impression" is the name of the Opportunity which is exactly what I want the field to update to; however, instead of updating it's coming back with an error. Here is a photo of my Impressions Object fields. Is it possible I'm messing up the relationship. IE: should it be lookup or master-detail?
