Hi, I'm trying to learn so decided to write a trigger that pre-populated the SLA field when an account was created, and also created an opportunity with pre-populated fields.

I have managed to either:
Create an account WITHOUT the pre-populated SLA field and WITH an associated opportunity,
OR
Create an account WITH the pre-populated SLA field and create an opportunity that is NOT associated with the account.

I can't work out how to combine the two, can anyone help please?

This is my code:

This version creates both correctly, but excludes the auto completion of the SLA field (used After insert as Before causes read only error):

trigger NewAccountOppTEST on Account (After insert) {

    List<Opportunity> OppList = new List<Opportunity>();
    
    //Auto populate SLA field for new account
    for (account acc : Trigger.new ){ 
                   
{
    //Create opportunity
    Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
    opp.name        = 'Auto Created again';
    opp.CloseDate   = Date.today()+7;
    opp.Stagename   = 'Prospecting';
    opp.AccountID   = acc.id;  
    OppList.add(opp);
} 
Insert OppList;
}
}


This version creates everything but the opportunity is orphaned:

trigger NewAccountOppTEST on Account (Before insert, after update) {

    List<Opportunity> OppList = new List<Opportunity>();
    
    //Auto populate SLA field for new account
    for (account acc : Trigger.new ){ 
        acc.SLA__c  = 'Gold';            
{
    //Create opportunity
    Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
    opp.name        = 'Auto Created again';
    opp.CloseDate   = Date.today()+7;
    opp.Stagename   = 'Prospecting';
    opp.AccountID   = acc.id;  
    OppList.add(opp);
} 
Insert OppList;
}
}
