I am trying to change the CreatedBy field in a work item to a test user I have. The CreatedBy field is being updated on the creation of the work item and I have bypassRules set to true. For a bit I thought the code I wrote was not updating the CreatedBy field because in the History section it still said: "USER created the User Story". Note that "USER" is the member who has the access token.
However, if I pull the work item I just created and pull the CreatedBy information it points out to the test user member, which is correct behavior. So my only problem is that history is not updating, is there a way to change CreatedBy in the history section? Below is a snippet of the code I am using to create the work item.
patchDocument.Add(
new JsonPatchOperation()
{
Operation = Operation.Add,
Path = "/fields/System.CreatedBy",
Value = workItem.CreatedBy //Represents string "Test User"
}
);
WorkItem result = workItemTrackingHttpClient.CreateWorkItemAsync(patchDocument, project, "User Story", bypassRules: true).Result;
Console.WriteLine("User Story Successfully Created: User Story #{0}", result.Id);
workItem.ItemId = (int)result.Id;
WorkItem testResult = workItemTrackingHttpClient.GetWorkItemAsync(project, workItem.ItemId).Result;
IdentityRef createdBy = (IdentityRef)testResult.Fields["System.CreatedBy"];
Console.WriteLine(createdBy.DisplayName); //This correctly displays "Test User"
return result;

Trying to just copy the Cost_Price__c field of a product into a custom object when it is updated (if possible inserted too) using an APEX trigger.
I'm so close but the error I am getting at the moment is: Illegal assignment from PricebookEntry to String
trigger updateAccount on Account (after update) {
for (Account oAccount : trigger.new) {
//create variable to store product ID
string productId = oAccount.Product__c;
//SQL statement to lookup price of product using productID
PricebookEntry sqlResult = [SELECT Cost_Price__c
FROM PricebookEntry
WHERE Product2Id =: productId];
//save the returned SQL result inside the field of Industry - Illegal assignment from PricebookEntry to String
oAccount.Industry = sqlResult;
}
}
Am I right in thinking it's because its returning a collective group of results from the SOQL call? I've tried using the sqlResult[0] which still doesn't seem to work.
The Illegal Assignmnet because you are assigning a whole Object i.e PriceBook Entry to a string type of field i.e Industry on Account.
Please use the following code for assignment.
oAccount.Industry = sqlResult[0].Cost_Price__c;
Please mark the answer if this works for you.
Thanks,

We are unable to update CreatedBy(System.CreatedBy) workitem field in VSTS 2017 using rest API. The user has been added to "Project Collection Service Accounts" VSTS group in order to bypass the rules while updating the workitem.
Link: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-dotnet-samples/blob/master/ClientLibrary/Snippets/Microsoft.TeamServices.Samples.Client/WorkItemTracking/WorkItemsSample.cs#L271
public WorkItem UpdateWorkItemUsingByPassRules(int id)
{
JsonPatchDocument patchDocument = new JsonPatchDocument();
patchDocument.Add(
new JsonPatchOperation() {
Operation = Operation.Add,
Path = "/fields/System.CreatedBy",
Value = "Foo <Foo#hotmail.com>"
}
);
VssConnection connection = Context.Connection;
WorkItemTrackingHttpClient workItemTrackingClient = connection.GetClient<WorkItemTrackingHttpClient>();
WorkItem result = workItemTrackingClient.UpdateWorkItemAsync(patchDocument, id, null, true).Result;
return result;
}
When validateOnly parameter is set to true instead on null, then the result output holds the updated created by value.
System.CreatedBy field can only be modified on work item creation. If the work item has multiple revisions, System.CreatedBy can not be changed by bypassing rule.
You can also find it in make an update bypassing rules:
NOTE: System.CreatedBy and System.CreatedDate can only be modified
using bypass rules on work item creation, i.e. the first revision of a
work item.
Since System.CreatedBy and System.CreatedDate record who and when did a work item created, it can only be updated when you create the work item.
Need some advise on how to populate a lookup field (contact) via apex trigger
I've created a lookup field called Contact__c on Idea object.
I would like to populate the Contact__c with the createdby User if it was originated from the web (CreatedBy.Contact.Account.Name == "Web Ideas") and leave it empty for internal idea creation.
I have read up and created the following trigger and was able to save and run. However, upon saving the idea record, i am getting an error : UpdateContactonComplaints: data changed by trigger for field Contact: id value of incorrect type: 005N0000000l9iMIAQ
trigger UpdateContactonComplaints on Idea (before insert, before Update) {
list<id> oid = new list<id>();
for(Idea o: trigger.new){
oid.add(o.id);
}
map<id, Idea> ExtendU = new map<id, Idea>(
[select CreatedbyID from Idea where id in: oid]);
for(Idea o: trigger.new){
o.Contact__c = ExtendU.get(o.id).CreatedbyID;
}
}
In the Trigger, the user id(id of the User who created the idea) is assigned to Contact custom lookup field).
So, it throws an error, data changed by trigger for field Contact: id value of incorrect type:
I am having following requirement:
1) To get list of all the users for whome profile has been changed.
2) Then query on FRUP (It is a custom object) to retrieve all the records which are associated with the user whose profile is changed.(FRUP object will contain the list of all the records created by all the users on all the objects say Account, Opportunity)
3) Update FRUP.
For achieving this I wrote one trigger through which i am able to fetch list of all the users whose profile has changed which is as follows:
Trigger UserProfileTrigger on User (before update) {
List<User> usr = new List<User>();
Map<String,String> userMap = new Map<String,String>();
for(User u: Trigger.new){
//Create an old and new map so that we can compare values
User oldOpp = Trigger.oldMap.get(u.ID);
User newOpp = Trigger.newMap.get(u.ID);
//Retrieve the old and new profile
string oldProfileId = oldOpp.profileId;
string newProfileId = newOpp.profileId;
//If the fields are different, the profile has changed
if(oldProfileId != newProfileId){
System.debug('Old:'+oldProfileId);
System.debug('New :'+newProfileId);
usr.add(u);
System.debug('User :'+usr);
}
}
}
Also Following are the fields on custom object FRUP:
1)Owner
2)Name
3)Record ID
4)Folder ID
5)Created By
6)Last Modified By
any help/suggestions??
I'm not sure what field on the FRUP references the user Id it relates to, but you can loop through the FRUP object with something like this:
List<FRUP> frupToUpdate = new List<FRUP>();
for (FRUP f : [
Select
OwnerId,
Name, //etc.
UserId //the field that references the user Id
from FRUP
where userId = : usr]) {
//update field on FRUP, e.g. f.Name = 'New Name';
frupToUpdate.add(f);
}
This selects the FRUP records that relate to the users with changed profiles. It then updates a field on the record and adds the record to a list for updating. Note that this should be after your loop for(User u: Trigger.new). Then update the FRUP records that have changed:
update frupToUpdate;
I'm new to Salesforce and I'm trying to create a trigger that will basically update fields and create a new Opportunity owner every time a new Opportunity gets added.
For clarity, I've attached my code below:
trigger trig_Opportunity_CreateOppOwner on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
//Opportunity OppOwner = null;
List<id>OppsID = new List<id>(); //Get the id of all new Opportunities owners
for (Opportunity Opp : Trigger.new) { //If a new Opportunity is added, then create new OppOwner, if not, then don't add.
OppsId.add(Opp.ID); //adds all new Opportunities Id's
}
List<Opportunity>OppToUpdate = [SELECT Id,
Name,
Owner__c,
OppOwner,
FROM Opportunity
WHERE Id IN: Opp.ID // Select Id, OpportunityName,
];
if Trigger.oldMap.get(opp.id).Owner__c != Trigger.oldMap.get(OppToUpdate.id).Owner__c // verify that if previous Opportunity has a matching owner.
OppsId.add(Opp.ID); //populates new oppowner with ID's of all owners.
This is basically what I'm trying to do:
Trigger(Before Update, Before Insert){
Get all Triggered Opportunities.
Verify if old opportunities already has a matching Owner.
If it's not a matching owner, update Opportunity fields and update the opportunity.
I'm not sure how to get from step 2 to step 3. Any help would be appreciated.
By the code that you provided isn't clear where it's finished, from my side seems that after couples of lines that you've provided another couples of lines exists. Could you please post all your code? If it isn't so, and code that you posted is all your code, from my point of view, this code do nothing, absolutely nothing.
Why?
no validation's errors
no DML operation
trigger trig_Opportunity_CreateOppOwner on Opportunity (before insert, before update) {
//Opportunity OppOwner = null;
/*
List<id>OppsID = new List<id>(); //Get the id of all new Opportunities owners
for (Opportunity Opp : Trigger.new) { //If a new Opportunity is added, then create new OppOwner, if not, then don't add.
OppsId.add(Opp.ID); //adds all new Opportunities Id's
}
*/
// 3 started lines might be replaced by the following one
List<id>OppsID = Trigger.newMap.getKeys();
//but the following code perform select on Opportunity object and return the same list as Trigger.new
// OppToUpdate == Trigger.new
// What for? May be you should work with this part on "after insert/update"
List<Opportunity>OppToUpdate = [SELECT Id,
Name,
Owner__c,
OppOwner,
FROM Opportunity
//WHERE Id IN: Opp.ID // Opp - isn't exist and it isn't list/set of id
WHERE Id IN OppsId // I guess you meant this
];
// 1.variable "opp" isn't exist here
// 2. "OppToUpdate.id" - you can't use list in this manner
if Trigger.oldMap.get(opp.id).Owner__c != Trigger.oldMap.get(OppToUpdate.id).Owner__c // verify that if previous Opportunity has a matching owner.
OppsId.add(Opp.ID); //populates new oppowner with ID's of all owners.
