Trigger on case Object to populate the fields .

Populate the Web_State__c and Web_Country__c fields based on the information entered in  State_Code__c field. 

 

When a case is created with the State code as "br-ac" , then the Web State should be populated as "Acre" and Web Country as "Brazil" .

 

i am trying to write a trigger for the above funcionality , here is my code .

 

trigger UpdateStateCountry on Case (before insert) {
List<Case> caseList = new List<Case>();


for(Case cs : Trigger.New){
if(cs.State_Code__c == 'br-ac' && cs.Alpha_3_Code__c == 'bra'){
cs.Web_State__c = 'Acre';
cs.Web_Country__c = 'Brazil';
caseList.add(cs);
}
if(cs.State_Code__c == 'br-al' && cs.Alpha_3_Code__c == 'bra'){
cs.Web_State__c = 'Alagoas';
cs.Web_Country__c = 'Brazil';
caseList.add(cs);
}

else {

cs.Web_State__c = 'None Provided';
cs.Web_Country__c = 'None Provided';
}

update caseList;

}
}

  {
    if(cs.State_Code__c == 'br-al' && cs.Alpha_3_Code__c == 'bra')
    {
      cs.Web_State__c = 'Alagoas';
      cs.Web_Country__c = 'Brazil';
    }
    else
    {
      cs.Web_State__c = 'None Provided';
      cs.Web_Country__c = 'None Provided';
    }
  }
}

 Is this what you are trying to do? You dont need to specify any dml calls inside the before insert trigger unless you are updating records in another object.
