Hi All,

    Good day. Is there a way to set the record type of a record to be saved via VF? Thanks!

I do not understand this solution.

 

How do you set the recordtype id via visualforce.

Here is my code:

 

<apex:page standardController="Case">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Case for {!$User.FirstName}">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection >
                <apex:inputField value="{!case.subject}"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!case.Quick_Ticket_Name__c}"/> 
                <apex:inputField value="{!case.status}"/>
                <apex:inputfield value="{!case.Quick_Ticket_check__c}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
Where do I set the value of the record type?

I am doing the exact thing. I log the recordType value before saving and it is correct, but it is not changed after saving the record.
I was changing RT in apex controller class, then I moved it to a trigger, none of which solved my problem.
