cross object access with visualforce

I have a parent object "admission form"

it has two related lists:

"survey 1"

"survey 2"

 

we would like to add a single field on survey 1 that concatenates 14 fields from survey 2

 

my difficulty is in accessing the data from survey 2

 

tried using a formula field but ran into difficulty with # of unique relationships per object (vlookup)

 

now trying visualforce, possibly with controller

any ideas?

Your trigger should be like this

trigger concatFields on Discharge_Survey__c (before insert, before update){

    List<ID> ids = new List<ID>();   
    for (Discharge_Survey__c disChargeSurvey : trigger.new)   
    {     
       //In below Clinical_Pathway__c this should be the APIName of reference field ( lookup or master detail which eer you have) 
       ids.add(disChargeSurvey.Clinical_Pathway__c);   
    }
   
List<Clinical_Pathway__c> survey2s = new List<Clinical_Pathway__c>([Select Patient_Admission_Readmission__c, Fluid_status_assessment__c,Fluid_management_orders__c        
from Clinical_Pathway__c        
where ID IN: ids]);
    for (Discharge_Survey__c s1: trigger.new)   
{     
for (Clinical_Pathway__c s2: survey2s)     
{       
if  (s1.Patient_Admission_Readmission__c == s2.admission_form__c)       
{           
s1.CHFFluid_Management_Pathway__c = s2.Fluid_status_assessment__c + s2.Fluid_management_orders__c;       
}     
}   
}
}

 This trigger is only work correct for single record, for bulk it will not give perfect results, just check for single if it work I will help you to make it for bulk as well. let me know if any issues in it.

Sounds like you need a trigger.

 

trigger concatFields on Survey_1__c (before insert, before update){

List<ID> ids = new List<ID>
for (Id thisID: trigger.new){
  ids.add(thisID);
}
List<Survey_2__c> survey2s = new List<Survey_2__c>([Select admission_form__c, field1__c, field2__c, ... from Survey_2__c where ID IN: ids]);

for (survey_1__c s1: trigger.new){
  for (surver_2__c s2: survey2s){
    if  (s1.admission_form__c == s2.admission_form__c){
       s1.field_to_hold_values = s2.field1__c + s2.field2__c + ...;
   }
  }
}
}

 The above gives you the main idea, however you will need to modify it to fit your environment.  Also, it will only populate the field when a survey 1 is inserted or updated, so you will have to consider that.

 

Good Luck!

this is very close, however I am getting the following error and not sure what I am doing wrong: 

Error: Compile Error: Loop variable must be of type SOBJECT:Discharge_Survey__c at line 5 column 13

 

trigger concatFields on Discharge_Survey__c (before insert, before update){


    List<ID> ids = new List<ID>();   

    for (ID thisID: trigger.new)   

{     

ids.add(thisID);   

}
   

List<Clinical_Pathway__c> survey2s = new List<Clinical_Pathway__c>([Select Patient_Admission_Readmission__c, Fluid_status_assessment__c,Fluid_management_orders__c        

from Clinical_Pathway__c        

where ID IN: ids]);
    for (Discharge_Survey__c s1: trigger.new)   

{     

for (Clinical_Pathway__c s2: survey2s)     

{       

if  (s1.Patient_Admission_Readmission__c == s2.admission_form__c)       

{           

s1.CHFFluid_Management_Pathway__c = s2.Fluid_status_assessment__c + s2.Fluid_management_orders__c;       

}     

}   

}
