The usual way to get a recordTypeId in Apex is to make a query like this:
|
1 |
[Select id from RecordType where sObjectType = 'Account' and developerName ='Person Account' ].id |
Instead of that try this line:
|
1 |
Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Person Account').getRecordTypeId() |
Just replace Account and ‘Person Account’ by your Object and Record Type Name
UPDATE:
I’ve been notice that “Person Account” is the label description and not the developer name of the Record Type. Having said that if you work in a multi-lang org, You’ll need to make a Query.
The most efficient way to make that kind of query is to cache the result in a static variable. Like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
class AccountHelper{ public static String personRecordTypeId; public static String getPersonRecordTypeId(){ if(AccountHelper.personRecordTypeId == null){ AccountHelper.personRecordTypeId =[Select id from RecordType where sObjectType = 'Account' and developerName ='Person Account' ].id } return AccountHelper.personRecordTypeId ; } |
Happy coding
