how to match fields

i have two objects with bug number on 
Case
Service Request 

I would like to create a trigger so that once a case is updated with the bug number and the bug number is in Service Request it populates the Service Request field on case. 

I have no idea how I can set the trigger so if a case is created or updated with a bug number it looks at service request to see if a active service request has that bug number and it will need to do the same when a service request is created it searchs the cases for that bug number and fills in the service request field.

Hi Peter,

We need to write two triggers here: one on Case and other on Service Request.

Case trigger: 

if(trigger.isBefore && trigger.isUpdate){
    
    If(oldCase.bugNumber == null and newCase.bugNumber != null){
       
        write code to query service request where bugNumber = newCase.bugNumber;
        if record is found, then populates the Service Request field on case. 
    }
}

Same logic is applicable for Service trigger too.

Thanks,
Nirmala
