I need to have a field that takes the text value of another field, and creates a developer API name out of it.
Ie.
Object__c.Name = 'FAQ: How to use salesforce?' gives Object__c.APIName__c = 'FAQ_How_to_use_salesforce'
I have a feeling only a trigger can properly do this, but I want to see if anyone has simpler alternatives? (ie, Formula field?)
As you said, its just a formula field.
SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Name, ":", "_"), " ", "_")
