pse.SObjectCloneMapper

global virtual with sharing class SObjectCloneMapper

The pse.SObjectCloneMapper class allows you to define the structure of SObjects that you want to clone. This object can be used by a cloning service to describe the data to be copied.

Properties

Name Type Description
SObjectRecordIdsToClone Set<Id> A set of Ids to identify the records you want to clone from this SObjectType. Leave null to clone all Ids found through relationships. If an empty list is passed, an attempt is not made to clone sObjects of this type.
SObjectTypeToClone Schema.SObjectType The SObjectType to clone.
SObjectFieldsToClone Set<pse.SObjectCloneMapper.Field> The set of fields from SObjectTypeToClone to be copied from the cloned records. Fields on SObjectTypeToClone which are not in this set will have default values in the cloned records and will not have values copied from the source records.
SObjectRecordsToOverride Map<Id, SObject> A map of IDs to SObject records that are used to override cloned template records. To override the records, use the template record ID as the map key, and an SObject with values as the map value.

Methods

SObjectCloneMapper

global SObjectCloneMapper(Schema.SObjectType sObjectTypeToClone, Set<pse.SObjectCloneMapper.Field> sObjectFieldsToClone)

A Default constructor with minimum required properties.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
sObjectTypeToClone Schema.SObjectType The SObjectType of the object to be cloned.
sObjectFieldsToClone Set<pse.SObjectCloneMapper.Field> The set of SObjectCloneMapper.Fields to be cloned.

pse.SObjectCloneMapper mapp = new pse.SObjectCloneMapper(pse__Proj__c.SObjectType, setMapperFields);

pse.SObjectCloneMapper.NullFieldValue

global inherited sharing class NullFieldValue

Used to represent an explicit null value. When the DefaultValue of a field is set to an instance of this class, the cloned records are created with a null in that field. The cloner should copy values for that field from the template when a default value is not provided.

/**
 * As an example, pse__Action_Date__c is a custom field and has been added to pse__Proj__c. This field has a default
 * value such that when a new project is created, the pse__Action_Date__c is set to a month in the future. The template
 * has a value in pse__Action_Date__c which should not be present in the cloned project. When a project is copied from
 * this template using pse.CreateProjectFromTemplateService, the business rules are that it should not have a date
 * in this field. If pse__Action_Date__c is given to pse.CreateProjectFromTemplateService (either as a mapper, or in a
 * FieldSet) then the tool will copy the value from the template. If the field is not provided, then the project is
 * created with a default value of next month. By using NullFieldValue, the cloned project can be created with null pse__Action_Date__c.

pse.SObjectCloneMapper.Field

global inherited sharing class Field

Each Field provides information about a field on the sObject you want to clone. Add instances of this class to SObjectFieldsToClone on SObjectCloneMapper.

Properties

Name Type Description
DefaultValue Object A value entered here is applied to the field of the cloned record. Leaving this value as null copies the field from the template. Other behavior may depend on configuration and settings. Setting DefaultValue to an instance of SObjectCloneMapper.NullFieldValue causes the cloned object to be created with a null value in this field.

Methods

Field

global Field(Schema.SObjectField field)

A default constructor with minimum required properties.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
field Schema.SObjectField The Schema.SObjectField you want to clone.
