Apex Triggers - Trailhead

Question

I have created an Apex trigger, and I was trying to run a trailhead but it always throws an error:

"Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: Executing the trigger did not work as expected. "

Herewith I have attached my code:

trigger AccountAddressTrigger on Account (before insert,before update) {

    for(Account a : [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE  Match_Billing_Address__c = TRUE AND BillingPostalCode != NULL])

    {

        a.ShippingPostalCode = a.BillingPostalCode;

        update a;        

    }//end for     

}

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Basically, there is some issue with your code, your trigger should be looks like this:

trigger AccountAddressTrigger on Account (before insert,before update) {

    //Iterate all accounts that is updated or inserted.

    for(Account acc :Trigger.New){

        //if match is true set values.

        if(acc.Match_Billing_Address__c){

            acc.ShippingPostalCode = acc.BillingPostalCode;

        }

    }

}

I hope this will help.
