Abraham Durojaiye How to create an Apex Trigger to auto-populate a custom field in an Opportunity object from a standard field in the same Opportunity object.
Hi,
I currently have an Apex Trigger that auto-poulates a custom field called Natural Partner in my Opportunity object. This field is auto-populated from an Account object.
Here is the current tirgger:
1. trigger NaturalPartner on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
2. map<id,account> accounts = new map<id, account>();
3. for (opportunity o:trigger.new) {
4. accounts.put(o.accountid,null);
5. }
6. accounts.remove(null);
7. accounts.putAll([Select id, name, Natural_Partner__c from account where id in :accounts.keyset()]);
8. for(opportunity o:trigger.new) {
9. if(accounts.containskey(o.accountid)) {
10.
11. o.Natural_Partner__c = accounts.get(o.accountid).Natural_Partner__c;
12.
13.
14. }
15. }
16. }
What I need is to change this trigger so that the custom field (Natural Partner) is auto-populated from the standard field (Opportunity Owner) which already auto-populates with the user's name that is making the entry. Both of these fields are in the Opportunity object.
Thanks

What would the formula field be exactly? What formula would I use for this?
