cradiya Not able to update field in after insert trigger. ( system.finalexception record is read-only )
I am trying to fetch data from description fied and update that in other field called "Email Sub". I am getting following errors
1. system.finalexception record is read-only
I have also tried before insert trigger, but field is not getting updated
trigger ParseBodySubject on BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c (after Insert, before update) {
for(BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c incident : Trigger.new){
String description = String.valueof([Select id, BMCServiceDesk__incidentDescription__c from BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c where id=:trigger.new limit 1]); System.debug('Desc:'+description );
String Sub = description.substringAfterLast('Subject:');
System.debug('Sub:' +Sub);
incident.Email_Subject__c= Sub; // Error Line
}
}
Appreciate your help
Thank you all for your quick reply.
I am facing one more problem since couple of days related to approval process. It would be great help if anyone can help me to get it resolved.

Here is the working code which fulfill my requirement.
trigger ParseBodySubject on BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c (before Insert) {
List<BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c> incidentList = new List<BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c>();
for(BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c incident : Trigger.new){
incident.Email_Subject__c = incident.BMCServiceDesk__incidentDescription__c.substringAfter('Subject:').substringBefore ('Body');
incident.Email_Body__c = incident.BMCServiceDesk__incidentDescription__c.substringAfter('Body:');
incidentList.add(incident);
}
}

Hmmm it looks like you are just referencing the same object in the soql query.
it seems like you could simply the whole thing to be:
for(BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c incident : Trigger.new){ incident.Email_Subject__c= incident.BMCServiceDesk__incidentDescription__c== null ? '' : incident.BMCServiceDesk__incidentDescription__c.substringAfterLast('Subject:'); }if the description is being populated somewhere else you should take out the after insert here and just add the extra line to the trigger where description is being populated. Actually, you wouldn't need to do that as that will trigger the before update in this trigger.
Also you never ever want to run a soql query in a loop. You'll want to familiarize yourself with bulkifying code:

Silly question, but did you check to make sure the field level security is not read-only?
You cannot update fields on triggered records when you are in an after trigger - move this into a before trigger.

Hi,
trigger ParseBodySubject on BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c (after Insert, before update) { List<BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c> incidentList = new List<BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c>(); for(BMCServiceDesk__Incident__c incident : Trigger.new){ incident.Email_Subject__c= incident.Description == null ? '' : incident.description.substringAfterLast('Subject:'); incidentList.add(incident); } update incidentList; }In after trigger, record in the trigger context is read only. you cannot modify. Try the above code or change it before insert trigger
