Hannes Rettig 'Variable does not exist' for a custom object
Hallo,
I'm absolutely new with APEX Code, so this is in my opinion just a simple question:
I want to validate a date field over a few objects. So I wrote a trigger and wanted to test
it, here's the code:
So as it is one of my first triggers I have the questions:
- In the line 'for (Time__c tt : Trigger.New){' I got the error 'unknown variable'. Does the IDE not know, that Time__c is a custom object or do I have to declare it (in another way)?
- What does this code:
- Is there still something missing/incorrect?
Thank you for your advice!

I want to validate a date field over a few objects. So I wrote a trigger and wanted to test
it, here's the code:
trigger TimeValidation on Time__c (before insert) {
Set<String> TNames = new Set<String>();
for (Time__c tt : Trigger.New){
Time__c.add(tt.Date__c);
}
List<Time__c> lstTT = [select id from Time__c where Date__c = tt.Date__c];
if (lstTT.size() > 0){
Trigger.New[0].Name.addError('Duplicate Error!!');
}
}
What I want to do is: When sombedy makes a new entry on Time__c I want to validate if there is still an entry with the same date es currently entered. When there's an entry found, I want have an error and reject the entry.So as it is one of my first triggers I have the questions:
- In the line 'for (Time__c tt : Trigger.New){' I got the error 'unknown variable'. Does the IDE not know, that Time__c is a custom object or do I have to declare it (in another way)?
- What does this code:
Set<String> TNames = new Set<String>();... and: Do I need it here?
- Is there still something missing/incorrect?
Thank you for your advice!
Check out this solution, you should be able to adapt it. Same idea here, just using email to check dupes

If you are really new, check out the entire site, it will really help you
trigger TimeValidation on Time__c (before insert) { Set<date> tdates = new Set<date>(); for (Time__c tt : Trigger.New){ tdates.add(tt.Date__c); } try{ for(Time__c t:[select id from Time__c where Date__c in: tdates]){ Trigger.New[0].Name.addError('Duplicate Error!!'); } }catch(exception e){ //no records found with these dates } }
