Hi,

assign this record to a another record tye
But this trigger giving me error ....

CaseSetupTrigger: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by:
System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object:
Trigger.CaseSetupTrigger: line 9, column 15

Can anybody help me what's the wrong with this code.???

trigger CaseSetupTrigger on Contact(before update){

for(Contact c:Trigger.new)
{
Contact cons = [SELECT LastName FROM Contact where Id
IN :Trigger.new];
RecordType rt = [select Id,name from RecordType where Name
='Duplicate' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
if(c.status__c=='Prospect')
{
c.RecordType.id='012900000003JZXAA2';
System.debug('id...'+c.RecordType.id);
}

        {
        Contact cons = [SELECT LastName FROM Contact where Id

dude.............................

u havent received status__c in query itself ..

change query to :   Contact cons = [SELECT id, name , status__c, LastName FROM Contact where Id

IN :Trigger.new];

Now I changed the code as follows 

But the record type is not assigning to the present record .

trigger CaseSetupTrigger on Contact(before insert,before update){


  
       for(Contact c:[select id,name,RecordTypeId,status__c  from contact where id in:Trigger.new])

        {
        
        RecordType rt = [select Id,name from RecordType where Name ='Duplicate1' and SobjectType = 'Contact'];
        system.debug('record found------------------------'+rt);

          if(rt.Id!=null)
          {
        

             if(c.status__c=='Prospect')
             {
             c.RecordTypeid='012900000003JZcAAM';
             System.debug('id...'+c.RecordType.id);

           
             }

  }

 
    }
}

Hi all,

Instead of going for a trigger u can use workflow to update the recordtype field

It works
