I am pretty new to Apex and VF (started about 10 hours ago), have close to never coded before, and I have this problem I need to solve: The ultimate goal is to be able to select multiple Account records and then bulk create records in a custom object from the Account list view that would be associated with the selected Accounts selected. For now, I felt like the best way to go was to have 2 VF pages. The first would create the custom object records based on some predefined values and then call the second page. The second page should then update the fields of the initially created object using values that would be selected by the user. Here's my code:
Page 1:
<apex:page standardController="Account"
lightningStyleSheets="true"
recordSetVar="Account"
extensions="CreatePipeline"
showHeader="false"
id="mcp">
<script>
</script>
<apex:form id="mcpform">
<apex:pageMessage summary="Selected Collection Size: {!mySelectedSize}"
severity="info"
id="mcppm1"
/>
<apex:pageMessage summary="Record Set Size: {!myRecordsSize}"
severity="info"
id="mcppm2"
/>
<apex:pageBlock title="Mass create Pipeline" mode="edit" id="mc1">
<apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom" id="mubut">
<apex:commandButton value="update" action="{!MassCreatePipelines}" id="butupd"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Leave" action="{!save}" id="butlea"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Page 2
<apex:page
standardController="Pipeline__c"
recordSetVar="pipeline"
lightningStyleSheets="true"
extensions="CreatePipeline"
showHeader="false"
id="muopp"
>
<apex:form id="muform">
<apex:pageMessage summary="Selected Collection Size: {!mySelectedSize}"
severity="info"
id="mupms"
/>
<apex:pageMessage summary="Record Set Size: {!myRecordsSize}"
severity="info"
id="mupmr"
/>
<apex:pageBlock title="Pipeline Mass-Update" mode="edit" id="mub1">
<apex:pageMessages />
<apex:pageBlockSection id="mus1">
<apex:inputField value="{!Pipeline__c.Stage__c}" id="stagename">
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="muselectedlist"/>
</apex:inputField>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection id="mus2">
<apex:inputField value="{!Pipeline__c.Deal_Status__c}" id="statusname">
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="muselectedlist"/>
</apex:inputField>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection id="mus3">
<apex:inputField value="{!Pipeline__c.Cohort_Name__c}" id="cohortname">
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="muselectedlist"/>
</apex:inputField>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom" id="mubut">
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" id="butsav"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" id="butcan"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlock title="Selected Pipelines" id="muselectedlist">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selected}" var="pipl" id="mutab">
<apex:column value="{!pipl.name}" id="piplname"/>
<apex:column value="{!pipl.Stage__c}" id="piplstage"/>
<apex:column value="{!pipl.Deal_Status__c}" id="piplstatus"/>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
APEX
public class CreatePipeline {
ApexPages.StandardSetController setCon;
Public List<Pipeline__c> myList = new List<Pipeline__c>();
public CreatePipeline(ApexPages.StandardSetController controller){
setCon = controller;
}
Public PageReference MassCreatePipelines(){
List<Pipeline__c> myList = new List<Pipeline__c>();
PageReference pageRef = ApexPages.currentPage();
for(Integer i=0;i<setCon.getSelected().size();i++) {
Pipeline__c a = new Pipeline__c(Name='testing button' + i,
Company_Name__c=setCon.getSelected().get(i).id,
Deal_Leaders__c='Joe Bob',
Fund__c='Moneyman',
Log_In_Date__c=Date.today(),
Momentum_Stage__c='Potential',
Momentum_Deal_Status__c='Under Review',
Cohort_Name__c='aaaaaaa00000'
);
myList.add(a);
insert a;
}
PageReference newocp = new PageReference('/apex/MassCreatePipeline2');
return newocp;
}
Public PageReference MassUpdatePipeline(){
for(Integer i=0;i<setCon.getSelected().size();i++) {
myList.get(i).Cohort_Name__c = Pipeline__c.Cohort_Name__c; /*this is where shit fuck**************************************************************************/
}
Return Null;
}
public integer getMySelectedSize() {
return setCon.getSelected().size();
}
public integer getMyRecordsSize() {
return setCon.getRecords().size();
}
}
Basically my problem now is that I have no clue how to send the value that were selected on page 2 to the MassUpdatePipeline() class. Me playing with 2 different objects and predefined picklists only makes it harder for me to figure it out.
Would really apreciate any help
