Studying salesforce apex, I have 2 objects one is name Merch and the other is Production, the production object has a look up field to get the names of items available on the Merchandise object. What I want to do is when the status field of the Production record which is picklist is set to "New" the status field on the Merchandise record will update to "Item Requested" , when the production request status is set to "Approved" the status on the merchandise record will be changed to "Prodution Approved". Each update on the Production record status field there will be matching update on the Merch record status field.
