remove a record from trigger.new list

Hi,

When i insert 10 records if any of the record is not equal to Utility.AccountRecordType then i need to remove the record from the trigger.new list. 

for(integer i=0;i<Trigger.new.size();i++){
        if(Trigger.new[i].RecordTypeId != Utility.AccountRecordType){
            Trigger.new.remove(i);
        }
    }

Regards

Hello , 

you can't do that and remove from Trigger.new,

you can do the below :

1- add after insert trigger and put the accounts that have a  recordtype different then Utility.AccountRecordType and delete them ex:

list<Account> listAccDel= new list<Account>();

 for(integer i=0;i<Trigger.new.size();i++)
{
        if(Trigger.new[i].RecordTypeId != Utility.AccountRecordType)
    {
        listAccDel.add(Trigger.new[i]);
      }
   }

delete listAccDel;

Good luck

Hi Suresh,

you can refer below code:

trigger removeRecordsOfAccount on Account (after insert) {

    List<Account> delList = new List<Account>();

	for(integer i=0;i<Trigger.new.size();i++){
        if(Trigger.new[i].RecordTypeId != Utility.AccountRecordType){
            delList.add(Trigger.new[i]);
        }
    }
	
	delete delList;
}
If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.

Thanks,
Vatsal

So the only way to do it is in the after trigger, is there a way to do it in a before trigger?

Hi Dongzhi Yang,
You can't delete a record before it's been inserted.

Hi, could anyone can personally assist me. As I have removed the record in the account of latari sambad.com (https://www.winscenes.in/lottery-sambad-old-results/) but due to that our other list get disturbed. How will I recover the old listing and setting. Event a technical person in my office look to this issue but he is unable to fix it.
