It seems like you are trying to put the phone number from the contact in to the mobile number field?

If so you can do the following:

trigger realtime2 on Contact (before insert){
     if(trigger.isbefore){
          for(Contact con : trigger.new) {
              con.mobilephone =  con.phone;
          }
  }

You dont need to call the update.

Hope this helps

Hi Ranjit,

You don't need to perform dml(i.e update conlist1) in before Insert. Simply You should assign the value. Looking at your code it seems you are trying to populate MobilePhone with Phone field. You can do as such.

trigger realtime2 on Contact (before insert)
{
if(trigger.isbefore)
{
    for(contact con:conlist)
    {       
       con.mobilephone=map1.get(con.id);
    }
}
}

Hi All,
I have one scenario in which i need your help.

Ther is two standard field on case : Case origin and Subject
When one of the field or both are updated, both field value(concating 2 filed values) should be auto populate in one custom field using trigger for the same object Case
