Incompatible element type Schema.SObjectField for collection of Id

  1. Work Order is created from the Account Object
  2. When work order is saved, LookUp Field: Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c should populate with the name from field Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c from the Account Object
  3. Getting Error on Line 5: Incompatible element type Schema.SObjectField for collection of Id
trigger UpdatePSR on WorkOrder (before insert, before update){
 Set<id> accIds = new Set<id>();
 for(WorkOrder Account: trigger.new){
  if(WorkOrder.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c!= null){
   accIds.add(WorkOrder.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c);
  }
 }
if(accIds.size() > 0){
  Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c from Account where id in :accIds]);
   if(mapOfAccounts.containsKey(Account.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c)){
    Account.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c = mapOfAccounts.get(Account.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c).Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c;
   }
  }

Hi Synthia,

Updated your code. 
trigger UpdatePSR on WorkOrder (before insert, before update){
 Set<id> accIds = new Set<id>();
 for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
  if(WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c!= null){
   accIds.add(WORecord.AccountId);
  }
 }
if(accIds.size() > 0){
  Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c from Account where id in :accIds]);
   for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
      if(mapOfAccounts.containsKey(WORecord.WORecord)){
         WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c =    
         mapOfAccounts.get(Account.WORecord).Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c;
      }
    }
  }
}


Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Naval

Hi Naval, 

I am getting Compile Error: Variable does not exist: Account.WORecord at line 13 column 28
Naval Sharma4Naval Sharma4
Hi,

Please update line 13 to following line. 
mapOfAccounts.get(WORecord.AccountId).Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c;

Hi Naval, 

Here is my latest update. I renamed the field to Primary_Sales_Rep_2__c on the Work Order Object. I am getting a new error. 

Compile Error: Invalid field WORecord for SObject WorkOrder at line 11 column 36​
  
trigger UpdatePSR on WorkOrder (before insert, before update){
 Set<id> accIds = new Set<id>();
 for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
  if(WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_2__c!= null){
   accIds.add(WORecord.AccountId);
  }
 }
if(accIds.size() > 0){
  Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c from Account where id in :accIds]);
   for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
      if(mapOfAccounts.containsKey(WORecord.WORecord)){
         WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_2__c =    
         mapOfAccounts.get(WORecord.AccountId).Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c;
      }
    }
  }

Sorry for all trouble. Actually I am not compiling this code on my system. Try this please. 
trigger UpdatePSR on WorkOrder (before insert, before update){
 Set<id> accIds = new Set<id>();
 for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
  if(WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_2__c!= null){
   accIds.add(WORecord.AccountId);
  }
 }
if(accIds.size() > 0){
  Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c from Account where id in :accIds]);
   for(WorkOrder WORecord: trigger.new){
      if(mapOfAccounts.containsKey(WORecord.AccountId)){
         WORecord.Primary_Sales_Rep_2__c =    
         mapOfAccounts.get(WORecord.AccountId).Primary_Sales_Rep_Name__c;
      }
    }
  }
}
