I'm trying to copy (duplicate) a record in ServiceNow table of incidents, but can not make this string work: gr.sys_id[key] = current.getValue(glideElement.getName());
The goal is to copy all fields values except sys_id.
Take a look at the UI Action Insert & Stay which is kind of a Duplicate Script.
You can use the same functionality in your Business rule or any other server side script:
doInsertAndStay();
function doInsertAndStay() {
var saveMe = current;
if (typeof current.number != 'undefined' && current.number){
current.number = ""; // generate a new number
}
current.insert();
action.setRedirectURL(saveMe);
}
The GlideRecord function insert() duplicates a record and of course a new sys_id is used for the new record. As far as I know you are not able to define the sys_id by your self.

Below is the code written by my collegue who doesnt work in the firm anymore. I am inserting records in object with data loader and I can see success message but I do not see any records in my object. I am not able to understand what below trigger is doing.Please someone help me understand as I am new to salesforce.

You might be looking in the wrong place. Check if there's an unit test written for this thing (there should be one, especially if it's deployed to production), it should help you understand how it's supposed to be used.
You're inserting records of QMBDataLogging__c but then it seems they're immediately deleted in DeleteDoAsLoggingRecords.deleteTheProcessRecords(processdIds). Whether whatever this thing was supposed to do succeeds or not.
This seems to be some poor man's CSV parser or generic "upload anything"... that takes data stored in QMBDataLogging__c and creates QMB_Initial_Letter__c out of it.
QMBLetteTypeToVfPage__c.getAll() suggests you could go to Setup -> Custom Settings, try to find this thing and examine. Maybe it has some values in production but in your sandbox it's empty and that's why essentially nothing works? Or maybe some values that are there are outdated?
There's some comparison if what you upload into Field1__c can be matched to what's in that custom setting. I guess you load some kind of subtype of your QMB_Initial_Letter__c in there. Record Type name and list of fields to read from your log record is also fetched from custom setting based on that match.
Then this thing takes what you pasted, looks at the list of fields in from the custom setting and parses it.
Let's say the custom setting contains something like
Name = XYZ, FieldAPINames__c = 'Name,SomePicklist__c,SomeDate__c,IsActive__c'
This thing will look at first record you inserted, let's say you have the CSV like that
Field1__c,Field2__c,Field3__c,Field4__c
XYZ,Closed,2022-09-15,true
This thing will try to parse and map it so eventually you create record that a "normal" apex code would express as
new QMB_Initial_Letter__c(
Name = 'XYZ',
SomePicklist__c = 'Closed',
SomeDate__c = Date.parse('2022-09-15'),
IsActive__c = true
);
It's pretty fragile, as you probably already know. And because parsing CSV is an art - I expect it to absolutely crash and burn when text with commas in it shows up (some text,"text, with commas in it, should be quoted",more text).
In theory admin can change mapping in setup - but then they'd need to add new field anyway to the loaded file. Overcomplicated. I guess somebody did it to solve issue with Record Type Ids - but there are better ways to achieve that and still have normal CSV file with normal columns and strong type matching, not just chucking everything in as strings.
In theory this lets you have "jagged" csv files (row 1 having 5 fields, row 2 having different record type and 17 fields? no problem)
Your call whether it's salvageable or you'd rather ditch it and try normal loading of QMB_Initial_Letter__c records. (get back to your business people and ask for requirements?) If you do have variable number of columns at source - you'd need to standardise it or group the data so only 1 "type" of records (well, whatever's in that "Field1__c") goes into each file.
I am using Trigger isBefore
In System.debug(opp.get(metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c), it is showing correct Values but not Updating in Opportunity Object
Below is Trigger and its Apex Class Trigger
Trigger
trigger MetadataObjectFieldMapping on Opportunity (before insert, before update)
{
if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate )
{
MetadataObjectFieldMappingHandler oppHandler = new MetadataObjectFieldMappingHandler();
oppHandler.Show(Trigger.new);
}
}
And Apex Class
public class MetadataObjectFieldMappingHandler {
List<String> strAccField = new List<String>();
//Getting List of MetaData Values
List<Object_Field_Mapping__mdt> metaData = new List<Object_Field_Mapping__mdt>
([SELECT Account_Field_Name__c,
Opportunity_Field_Name__c
FROM Object_Field_Mapping__mdt]);
//Function to check if Field Name Exists in Object or not
public Boolean hello(String objName, String fieldName)
{
Boolean temp = False;
//Creating Schema to get all fields from Account and Opportunity Object
Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> accFields = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(objName).getDescribe().fields.getMap();
for(Schema.SObjectField field : accFields.values())
{
strAccField.add(field+'');
}
//Calling Account and Opportunity Object in fieldName
if(strAccField.contains(fieldName)){
System.debug('PASS '+fieldName);
temp = true;
}
return temp;
}
public void Show(List<opportunity> newOppList)
{
Boolean test1 = hello('Account',metaData.get(0).Account_Field_Name__c);
Boolean test2 = hello('Opportunity',metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c);
//If both Field Value exists
if(test1 && test2){
//Getting value from Opp using dynamic Query
String query = 'Select Account.'+metaData.get(0).Account_Field_Name__c+', '+metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c+' from Opportunity where Id IN : newOppList ';
List<Opportunity> oppList =database.query(query);
for(Opportunity opp : oppList){
opp.put(
metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c,
opp.Account.get(metaData.get(0).Account_Field_Name__c)
);
System.debug(opp.get(metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c));
}
}
}
Can you please tell me, why Value is not Updating in Opportunity Object while it showing in Debug Logs..?
Multiple fails here I think.
Apex is case-insensitive when you do if('a' == 'A'). But when comparing Strings in collections (Lists, Sets, Map keys) it suddenly becomes case-sensitive.
List<String> fields = new List<String>{'Id', 'Name'};
System.debug(fields.contains('name')); // false
(this should have been a Set<String> by the way, for performance and logical readability). So I suspect something's fishy there, in case. You didn't show your metadata but check this one (you have only 1 row now, right? If you have more than one - we'll your metaData.get(0) essentially returns a random row).
I don't like the cast from Schema.SObjectField to String either.
Next: String query = 'Select Account.'+metaData.get(0).Account_Field_Name__c+', '+metaData.get(0).Opportunity_Field_Name__c+' from Opportunity where Id IN : newOppList ';
This has a chance of working in before update. But for sure not in before insert. Nothing's in database yet, your query will return zero results. You have to loop through trigger.new, collec AccountIds, query Accounts (directly, not via Opportunity table) and then make final loop that writes data.
You passed newOppList to Show(). If you want to get the save to database for free - you should modify values on the original, on newOppList. Instead you modify the in-memory results of query (oppList). Nothing will happen to them, they'll be discarded. If you want to save them, you'd have to do it manually (but then you risk entering a loop of update triggers and SF will stop you).
You sure this has to be code? Sounds like a job for workflow or process builder. Or make them formula fields so you always display fresh value instead of such copying... When something changes on Account it won't automatically cascade down to all opps unless you make next trigger/process builder...
I need to import a large table of data into my database in one go. I currently have it as an Excel file but I am happy to copy it to Google sheets etc.
So far I've added a few entries manually directly via cloud firestore.
Is there a solution already out there to achieve this?
I think the easiest way to export table data into Firestore is to use a Google Apps Script Library (for Google Sheets).
Step 1
Make a Copy of THIS example Google Spreadsheet I created as an example
Step 2
From the menu of YOUR copy of the Example Google Spreadsheet from step 1, click Tools > Script Editor. This should open up the example Google App Script associated with the example spreadsheet.
Step 3
Follow the Steps for installing this library and then update the script with the following:
email
key
projectID
These variables are generated by going to the Google Service Accounts page. This will require that you already have a Firebase or Google Cloud account setup. I won't repeat all the steps that are already iterated in in the aforementioned Github writeup. Just follow them carefully, and realize that the private_key is THE ENTIRE KEY starting with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n, EVERYTHING in between, and ending with \n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n
Step 4
Insert a page on your spreadsheet that contains your data, and EDIT the script to use your new sheet name and your data. I have HEAVILY commented the script so it's pretty clear what almost every line of code is doing. For those of you that just want to peek at the Google App Script that's behind this spreadsheet, here's the code:
// Note this Script uses an external library as per this page:
// https://github.com/grahamearley/FirestoreGoogleAppsScript
// This solution requires a Google Spreadhseet and a Firebase Account
// FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THAT GITHUB REPO TO SETUP NEEDED API KEYS!!!
//Global Variables
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // Gets the active "workbook"
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Restaurants'); // CHANGE TO YOUR SHEET NAME
const headerRowNumber = 1; // If you have more than one row for your header, then change this value to number of header rows
// If you want to mark modified cells, then set up a trigger for the following function:
// Edit > Current Project Triggers > (+ Add Trigger) > On Edit Spreadsheet etc
function onEdit(e) {
var cell = ss.getActiveCell(); //This will also effectively get our row
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange(); //This checks for all rows/columns with data
var modifiedCol = dataRange.getLastColumn()-1; //Our "modified" column should be the second to last
if (cell.getColumn() < modifiedCol && cell.getRow() > headerRowNumber) { //If we edit any cells to the left of our modified column and below our header...
var celltoMark = sheet.getRange(cell.getRowIndex(),modifiedCol) //Get the R/C cordinates of cell to place modified time
celltoMark.setValue(new Date()); //write timestamp to that cell
}
};
// This will parse any comma separated lists you create in any of your fields (useful for search words, or attributes, etc)
function listToArray(list) {
var ogArray = list.split(","); //Input is a comma separated list
let trimmedArr = ogArray.map(string => string.trim()); //Let's strip out the leading/trailing whitespaces if any
return trimmedArr; //return the cleaned array
}
function writeToFireStore() {
const email = 'sheets#yourprojectid.iam.gserviceaccount.com'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const key = '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nYOURPRIVATEKEY\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
const projectID = 'yourprojectid'; // CHANGE THIS!!!
var firestore = FirestoreApp.getFirestore(email, key, projectID);
const collection = "MySpreadsheetData"; // Name of your Firestore Database "Collection"
var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange().offset(headerRowNumber, 0, sheet.getLastRow() - headerRowNumber); //this is your data range
var data = dataRange.getValues(); // this is an array of your datarange's values
var lastCol = dataRange.getLastColumn(); // this is the last column with a header
var newDoc = {}; // Instantiate your data object. Each one will become the data for your firestore documents
// r = row number in this case
for (let r = 0; r <= dataRange.getLastRow(); r++) {
//Logger.log("R = ",r);
var cellMod = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol-1);
var cellFS = dataRange.getCell(r+1, lastCol);
var cellModVal = cellMod.getValue();
var cellFSVal = cellFS.getValue();
//
// IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS IMPORTANT READ THIS!!!
// Well, read the line below...
if (r > 2) break; //Comment Out this line after you're done testing otherwise you'll write all your rows to firestore after every run
newDoc[r] = {
name : data[r][1],
category : data[r][2],
cuisine : data[r][3],
address: {
add1: data[r][4],
add2: data[r][5],
city: data[r][6],
state: data[r][7],
zip: data[r][8]
},
tel: data[r][9],
searchterms: listToArray(data[r][10]) //Let's turn a csv list into an array
}
// For the sake of efficiency and to save $, we WON'T create documents that have already been created...
// ...and we won't update documents that have a fireStore Timestamp that's newer than a Modified Timestamp
// If there's not firestore timestamp in our spreadsheet, then let's create firestore document and update firestore stamp:
if (!cellFSVal) {
var now = new Date(); //Generate timestamp right now
try {
firestore.createDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]); // To Use Your Own Document ID
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been added to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") is NEW and was added to FireStore Successfully");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document with same name already existed in Firestore.");
}
}
//var if FS Timestamp exists but, the modified time stamp is greater, let's update the Firstore Document
else if ((cellFSVal) && (cellModVal > cellFSVal)) {
try {
firestore.updateDocument(collection + "/" + data[r][0], newDoc[r]);
//Now let's insert a timestamp in our Firestore TS column of the sheet so we know it's been updated to Firestore
cellFS.setValue(now);
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") updated/edited.");
} catch (e) {
Logger.log("Error: ",e," : Document existed, we tried updating it, but jack shit happened.");
}
}
else {
Logger.log("Row ",r,"(",data[r][1],") Already in Firestore & hasn't been modified. Skipped.");
}
}
}
Step 5
Once your script is modified to your needs, it's time to run the script. Simply save it (File > Save), then choose the function "writeToFireStore" from the "Select function" dropdown selector in the menu bar (in between the icon of the bug, and the lightbulb), then hit the PLAY icon (to the left of the bug icon). At this point, you will likely be prompted to accept permissions to run the script, (which you need to accept if you want to run the script). Once you've accepted the permissions, then run the "writeToFireStore" function again if it hasn't already run, and voila!
NOTES:
I created a function that automatically writes a Modified Timestamp to the second to last column in the target sheet, and when you run the function, writes a Firestore Timestamp (so you know which rows have been successfully exported to Firestore). This way, if you run the firestore function again, and you haven't changed the data on your sheet, it won't bother updating the database with the same data (and will save you money and/or server resources). For this functionality to work, you must setup project Triggers (which is explained inside the script in the comments).
I have a google spreadsheet which contains multiple sheets (or tabs) within it. Each sheet is populated from its own unique form. None of the forms are embedded in the spreadsheet.
Periodically, I need to delete all the data in the sheets, and also delete all the old responses which are saved in each of the forms. I can do this using a .gs script which resides in the spreadsheet. It accesses the form by its ID (the long string which appears in its URI). This requires the ID string to be hardcoded in my .gs script.
Ideally, I would like to access each form from the sheet object (i.e. the destination for each forms entries). Mock up code would look like this...
var ss = SpreadSheedApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var form = sheet.getMyAssociatedSourceForm(); // my dream method :-)
form.deleteAllResponses() // this method already exists
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or will I have to continue to use the ID (which is currently working)?
rgds...
I think you can do this without literally typing in ID's into your script. But, you would need to get every Form in your drive, loop through them all and get the destinationId() of every Form.
Google Documentation
Then compare the destinationId with the current spreadsheets ID, which you can get without needing to "hard code" it:
function deleteAllResponses() {
var thisSS_ID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var allForms = DriveApp.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGLE_FORMS);
var thisFormFile, thisFormFileID = "", thisForm, theDestID = "";
while (allForms.hasNext()) {
thisFormFile = allForms.next();
thisFormFileID = thisFormFile.getId();
thisForm = FormApp.openById(thisFormFileID);
try {
theDestID = thisForm.getDestinationId();
} catch(err) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === "" || theDestID === undefined) {
continue;
};
if (theDestID === thisFormFileID) {
thisForm.deleteAllResponses();
};
};
};
I have not tested this, so don't know if it works. If it does, let me know in the comments section.
I have a trigger which works in the sandbox. The workflow checks the field in the campaign level and compares it with the custom setting. If it matches, then it returns the target to the DS Multiplier field. The trigger looks as follows
trigger PopulateTarget on Campaign (before insert, before update)
{
for(Campaign campaign : Trigger.new)
{
if (String.isNotBlank(campaign.Apex_Calculator__c) == true)
{
DSTargets__c targetInstance = DSTargets__c.getInstance(campaign.Apex_Calculator__c);
{
String target = targetInstance .Target__c;
campaign.DS_Target_Multiplier__c = Target;
}
}
}
}
However, I had problems to write a proper test to this and asked for the help on the internet. I received the test
#isTest
private class testPopulateTarget{
static testMethod void testMethod1(){
// Load the Custom Settings
DSTargets__c testSetting = new DSTargets__c(Name='Africa - 10 Weeks; CW 10',Target__c='0.1538', SetupOwnerId = apexCalculatorUserId);
insert testSetting;
// Create Campaign. Since it would execute trigger, put it in start and stoptests
Test.startTest();
Campaign testCamp = new Campaign();
// populate all reqd. fields.
testCamp.Name = 'test DS campaign';
testCamp.RecordTypeId = '012200000001b3v';
testCamp.Started_Campaign_weeks_before_Event__c = '12 Weeks';
testCamp.ParentId= '701g0000000EZRk';
insert testCamp;
Test.stopTest();
testCamp = [Select ID,Apex_Calculator__c,DS_Target_Multiplier__c from Campaign where Id = :testCamp.Id];
system.assertEquals(testCamp.DS_Target_Multiplier__c,testSetting.Target__c);// assert that target is populated right
}
}
Such test returns the error "Compile Error: Variable does not exist: apexCalculatorUserId at line 6 column 122". If I remove that ApexCalculator part System.assertEquals then the test passes. However it covers 4/6 part of the code (which is 66%)
Could anyone help me how should I amend the code to make the coverage of 75%?
Yes, apexCalculatorUserId has not been defined. The code you were given appears to be incomplete. You'll need to look at the constructor DSTargets__c and see what kind of ID it is expecting there.
At a guess, you could try UserInfo.getUserId() to get the ID of the current user, but that may not be the ID that's expected in the constructor. It would be worth trying it to see if the test coverage improves.
1) Replace apexCalculatorUserId with UserInfo.getUserId()
2) I'm not sure what kind of field is Apex_Calculator__c on campaign. If its not a formula you want to insert a new line before "insert testCamp". Something like:
testCamp.Apex_Calculator__c = UserInfo.getUserId();
