But yeah

Oh they're not going to be happy I shoved that in the actual trigger and not the ContactUtils

Wouldn't call it nice. More like painful when it carries over to the next sprint

On my end it works and at this point anyone who disagrees with that statement can blow me

Scratch that just gave it to you now. Thanks for your help.

@FernandoGavinho Okay, if QA decides this is acceptable I'll give you the bounty. Normally I wouldn't since at a core you essentially linked me to another answer but if you set this crap up in your box that's a significant amount of effort.

Even works to block the creation of inactive contacts when there are dupes

Going to slowly start adding things back to see if it breaks

Turned off everything but the basics

if(Trigger.isBefore && !Trigger.isDelete){
    for(Contact c : trigger.new){
       // if(c.AccountId == null){
       //     c.Account_Id__c= c.AccountMap__c;
       // }
        //else{
            c.Account_Id__c = c.AccountId;
        //}
    }
}

I'm going to try the classic turning it on and off again (the duplicate rule)

Dealing with old ones is too complicated for now

New contacts.

Let me fix it back to where it was and I'll get back to you

Well still not working

Not working again

That's a much cleaner check.

Now it's just not working at all

.... It was working... Now it's not.

Yes, the triggers work right when the record type is Active. But when the record type is inactive there are problems

@FernandoGavinho you there?

Added my trigger logic to the question

@Frenando Not going to be your favorite person here but I just tried it and while the field is populating off the trigger correctly it doesn't fix it.

I have bad bad news. I just tested it and Account Name is the actual name of the account not the Id. :( I was hoping man. I was hoping big time.

Yeah I'm about to run that test.

At a code level I know you're right but when it comes to Salesforce Config and picklist values Account Name tends to be the actual account name. Like in merge fields on email templates the field isn't the Id but the actual account.

Can you explain what you mean by the watched fields?

This was one of my first ideas but it was shot down by product owner, QA, and other devs really fast because Account name isn't always unique. If account name holds the Id instead of the actual name i will accept this. I'm not sure how to test this however

When trying to knock down a wall a hammer may appear incompetent and inferior to the sledge hammer but try to drive a nail and the sledge hammer is the incompetent one. Software is just a tool. Not all tools do all things. That doesn't make them incompetent though.

Does switching browsers fix your problem?

I'd also like to note we are not Firefox customer support.

Calm down there big boy. It may have to do with the browser you're running. Firefox, to accommodate people like my who enjoy having 20-50 tabs open at all times, may not load all the pages at once. I know on start up its the reason why most people like me prefer it over chrome. Have you tried switching browsers?

How do explain to user? superuser.com/questions/932199/…

Oh... that's how you do it. It just has to be its own message.

How do you send the question like that?

@Bob Yes. It was very pretty. And why aluminum tape?

@DragonLord so yesterday

@Dra

@bob puu.sh/i3Qeq/421c7e0ca4.jpg

It was pretty.

A long time ago your avatar used to be an arctic fox if I remember correctly.

I liked the arctic fox you used to have.

I dunno. Have no clue what you're doing or what's going on.

Turn job control on?

I take a good long time to make a decision. Especially with the woman. Currently it's not going well. I told them both I love them because I didn't want to hurt their feelings. Sometimes the game can be a jerk and force you to make quick decisions.

And it is wonderful. 36 different endings. Your decisions matter. I called out some priest that was hating on me and 10 hours later he sent guys after me. I was like "What the hell? I did that ages ago?"

It's on console.

@djsmiley2k You play Witcher 3 yet?
