Okay so how are you uploading the data (Dataloader, Data Import Wizard, etc.)? If you’re only updating (NOT upserting or inserting) and have an External ID provided, then that’s all you will need. If you don’t have an External ID specified, then you will need to create some sort of deduplication process to ensure you aren’t duplicating… Read more

I can’t answer that unless you provide more information about HOW you are going about this update process. If you need to query for the records to update them, then you may very well need this information. However, I can’t help you unless you provide the necessary information. I would suggest that you search Trailhead for a lesson to teach you… Read more

Only if they aren’t null. Since it’s an update, I’m assuming they are not null since they are mandatory. So you only need to provide field values that are being changed.

If they are mandatory then yes, they will need to be provided. How are you going about this update?

You’re going to need to provide a bit more info here, my guy. What is the use case and how are you doing it?

Hi Bruce,

I’m not sure, but it could be a minor difference in how they are querying for the value to display on the back end. I’m mentioning this because I have an active ticket open with a similar issue that is the result of Salesforce trying to get an ID, but mistakenly querying for a Name instead.

Is the ID still clickable?

If not, there are…

Reply to How to use the Helper class in Salesforce Apex Trigger?

Hi Arun!

It’s important that we use handlers for our triggers for many reasons:

they keep logic out of the triggers themselves, which significantly improves legibility and ease of alteration because it allows the trigger itself to act as a sort of router, passing along tasks to the handlers
Because the logic is separated out this way, it is…

Reply to What will happen if you try to update record in After Trigger Context in Salesforce?

If you did this, it would fail because you’re essentially trying to make a duplicate record here. You are correct, however, in that the After context has access to the ID(s) of the updated record(s). In fact, with After Update we have use of trigger.new, which contains not only the ID(s) but all the fields for the updated records. To make…
