Skip the execution of trigger

Question

I have a requirement, wherein I have to skip the execution of trigger on Task after update operation on Task from Case. On update of case fields, am performing an update operation on Task Object. This fires Task triggers and LastModified by gets changed for all the Task records which are related to Case Object.

My intent is to skip the execution of TaskTriggerHandler method, only for this particular update operation when it happens on the case. Is it possible, if yes, please let me know....

Answer 1

You can implement that logic by yourself.

You can write an UtilClass to check if you execute or not the Trigger Logic

public class ByPassUtils {

    public static Map<String,Boolean> triggerNameBypassed = new Map<String,Boolean>();

    public static void ByPass(String triggerName){
        triggerNameBypassed.put(triggerName,true);
    }

    public static void UndoByPass(String triggerName){
        triggerNameBypassed.put(triggerName,false);
    }

    public static Boolean isByPassed(String triggerName){
        return triggerNameBypassed.hasKey(triggerName) && triggerNameBypassed.get(triggerName);
    }
}

logic when you want to bypass (maybe in the case trigger for your example)

ByPassUtils.ByPass('TaskAfterUpdate');

in your trigger code (in your case TaskAfterUpdate)

if(!ByPassUtils.isByPassed('TaskAfterUpdate')){
    // your logic here
}

Answer 2

There an easy practical way to do something like this

In your Task trigger add something like this

public class TriggerControl {
    public static Boolean isComingFromCase = false;
}

trigger TaskTrigger on Task (..all your before/afters) {

  public void MyTriggerMethod(...your params) {
    if (TriggerControl.isCallingFromCase) {
      return;
    }

    ...rest of your code
  }


}

Then, on whatever method you want to skip the triggers you can do

...code

TriggerControl.isComingFromCase = true;

...more code

If you set that variable to true before you perform the update that kicks off the Task Trigger then the methods for which you added the if statement won't be executed.

Answer 3

When you are updating a particular field on case you update a particular field on task which fires another trigger on Task object to update the last modified by.

You can put condition on particular field.

If(Case.someFieldValue == 'someValue'){

//Then only update the task field.

}
