Populating Line Description Using Trigger
I've been using the trigger below to automatically add the Product Description to the Line Description in the Opportunity Product. However, if a user manually adds a Line Description when adding a product, that manual line description is overwritten. Any thoughts of what can be added to this to prevent that from happening. Here's the code:
trigger LineDescriptionFromProduct on OpportunityLineItem (before insert)
{
// Add pricebookentry ids to an array for future query
ID[] idSet = new ID[trigger.new.size()];
for(Integer i = 0; i < trigger.new.size(); i++)
{
idSet[i] = trigger.new[i].PricebookEntryId;
System.Debug(trigger.new[i].PricebookEntryId);
}
// Create a map for product ids/descriptions
Map<ID, String> descMap = new Map<ID, String>();
for(PricebookEntry entry: [select p.Id, p.Product2.Description from PricebookEntry p where p.Id in :idSet])
{
System.Debug(entry.Id + ' - ' + entry.Product2.Description);
descMap.put(entry.Id, entry.Product2.Description);
}
// Set descriptions
for(OpportunityLineItem line: trigger.new)
{
System.debug(descMap.get(line.PricebookEntryId));
line.Description = descMap.get(line.PricebookEntryId);
}
}
