Hi all,

The simple way can be to create a formula field on Employee Address that references Country field from Employee. Why do you want to populate value using triggers?

Best possible solution is to use Proces builder to sync cuntry field of the child record with parent country value

Hi bhaskar,
The following trigger will update the new value of Country__c in all its child object whenever you will change the value in Parent Object.
  
trigger toUpdateCountryfield on Employee_DB__c (after insert,before update) {
List<Employee_DB__c> EmployeeList = new List<Employee_DB__c>();
List<Employee_Address__c> EmployeeaddressList = new List<Employee_Address__c>();
map<id,string> mapofIdandCountry =new map<Id,string>();
set<Id> SetofparentId = new set<Id>();

for(Employee_DB__c emp : trigger.new){
mapofIdandCountry.put(emp.Id,emp.Country__c);
SetofparentId.add(emp.Id);
}

EmployeeaddressList = [SELECT Id,Country__c,Employee_DB__c FROM Employee_Address__c where Employee_DB__c in :SetofparentId];
for(Employee_Address__c eadd : EmployeeaddressList){
eadd.Country__c = mapofIdandCountry.get(eadd.Employee_DB__c);
}

update EmployeeaddressList;

}

Now if you want that when you create a new child object (Employee_Address__c), its Country__c field should automatically fill according to its Parent, then you have to use one more trigger. This trigger will be on child Object :
  
trigger toUpdateCountryfield2 on Employee_Address__c (after insert) {   
    List<Employee_Address__c> EmployeeaddressList = new List<Employee_Address__c>();
    set<Id> SetofchildId = new set<Id>();
for(Employee_Address__c eadd: trigger.new){
        SetofchildId.add(eadd.Id);
    }
    EmployeeaddressList = [SELECT Id,Country__c,Employee_DB__r.Country__c FROM Employee_Address__c WHERE Id in :SetofchildId ];
    for(Employee_Address__c ead :EmployeeaddressList){
    ead.Country__c = ead.Employee_DB__r.Country__c ;
}
    update EmployeeaddressList;
}

Regards,
Ajay
