Retrieve Field Value from Map

Question

I am creating a batch process that looks at all records for the custom object enrollment__c that have a null account_team__c field. That field is a lookup to the account_team__c custom object. The naming convention of that account_team__c object is the year and the account name. So something like 2022 Acme Inc The map that I created contains a string and a custom object. I declare the map with the following:

Map<String, List<Account_Team__c>> accountAtsMap2 =new Map<String, List<Account_Team__c>> ();

Everything gets populated in the map as expected but when I to add code to update the missing value, I get an error, Variable does not exist: id

Here is a record from the map (via debug)

14:36:29:027 USER_DEBUG [139]|INFO| 4 here is the ATName (Account_Team__c:{Id=a02S000000H0up9IAB, Name=2022 Test Prospect 1, Account_del__c=001S000001KbEBWIA3, Year__c=2022})

This is the line that won't save in VS because of the variable does not exist: id error:

system.debug(logginglevel.info, ' 4 here is the ATName ' + accountAtsMap2.get(atName).id);

Am I getting this error because I'm using a string instead of an ID in my map? Here is the full code:

        global void execute(Database.BatchableContext ctx, List<Sobject> scope){

          // Cycle through the first time to build a list of related account Id's from the ES's queried
          //also add the enrollment summary to a list to be used later in code
        List<Id> accountIds = new List<Id>();
        for (sObject s : scope) {
            Health_Enrollment_Summary__c es = (Health_Enrollment_Summary__c)s;
            accountIds.add(es.account__c);
        }

           // Retrieve a list of all account teams using account id from ES's queried
        List<Account_Team__c> atList = [
            Select Id, Name, Account_del__c, Year__c, Account_del__r.name
            from Account_Team__c
            where Account_del__c in : accountIds];
          //create a map to hold the account id and related account team records
        Map<String, List<Account_Team__c>> accountAtsMap2 =new Map<String, List<Account_Team__c>> ();

          //populate the map with Account Team Name / Account Team
        for (Account_Team__c at : atList) {
              //create name of account team to use for lookup into map
            string tempAtname =  at.year__c + ' ' + at.Account_del__r.Name ;
            string AtName;
              //trim name to a max of 80 charachters 
            if (tempAtName.length()>80){
                AtName = tempAtName.substring(0,80);
            }
            else{
                AtName = tempAtName;
            } 
            List<Account_Team__c> tempList2 = new List<Account_Team__c>(); 
            if (accountAtsMap2.containsKey(ATName)) {
                tempList2 = accountAtsMap2.get(AtName);
            }
            tempList2.add(at);
            accountAtsMap2.put(Atname, tempList2);
        }  //end for loop for scope

        //test looping accountAtsMap2
      for (sObject s : scope) { 
            Health_Enrollment_Summary__c es = (Health_Enrollment_Summary__c)s;
            string tempAtname =  es.year__c + ' ' + es.Account__r.Name ;
            string AtName;
              //trim name to a max of 80 charachters 
            if (tempAtName.length()>80){
                AtName = tempAtName.substring(0,80);
            }
            else{
                AtName = tempAtName;
            } 
              //if es record has the account team field null, update 
            if(es.account_team__c == null){
                system.debug(logginglevel.info, ' 3 here is the ATName ' + AtName);
                if (accountAtsMap2.containsKey(AtName)) {
                    system.debug(logginglevel.info, ' 4 here is the ATName ' + accountAtsMap2.get(atName).Year_);
                   // es.account_team__c = accountAtsMap2.get(atName).Id;
               
                    //fill in the account team fields on ES
                   // system.debug(logginglevel.info, '2 here is the es with missing AT' + es.Name);
                }
            }
        }  //end of for loop on scope
    }  //end of execute method

Answer 1

You defined the map accountAtsMap2 as key string to value List<Account_Team__c>. So when you call accountAtsMap2.get(atName) it returns List<Account_Team__c> (may be with 1 or more elements) and List doesn't have Id field hence that error.

You would need to get the value and loop through items in that list and act upon those items individually.

Answer 2

The issue I was having is that the accountAtsMap2.get(ATName) was returning a list. Therefore, I needed to use: accountAtsMap2.get(ATName)[0].id

Thanks!
