Hi,

I'm new to the development side so any help would be appreciated.

I have created a custom object Prospects, whose standard field is Prospect Name. I would like Prospect Name to autopopulate with the Account Name that the custom object is associated with. (Account is a lookup on the custom object). I first tried this with a workflow and it is not updating when I create a new record. My next thought is that this needs to be a trigger, but I do not have enough experience writing these. Is this even possible? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
