I want to add multiple accounts to the salesforce object from the anonymous window. I know how to do that using the below code
Account acc = new Account(Name='account1');
List<Account> accToAdd = new List<Account>();
accToAdd.add(acc);
insert accToAdd;
but when I am trying to insert multiple accounts(see code below), it is giving me error as "Line: 1, Column: 5 Unexpected token '<'."
List<Account> accToAdd = new List<Account>(
{ new Account(Name='triggertest4'),
new Account(Name='triggertest5'),
new Account(Name='triggertest3')
});
insert accToAdd;
can anyone help???
You should use only brackets in the latter case:
List<Account> accToAdd = new List<Account> {
new Account(Name='triggertest4'),
new Account(Name='triggertest5'),
new Account(Name='triggertest3')
};
System.debug(accToAdd);
insert accToAdd;
You could also create an empty list, then add the elements, which could be useful in a for-loop:
List<Account> accToAdd = new List<Account>();
for (Integer i=3; i<6; i++) {
accToAdd.add( new Account(Name='triggertest' + i) );
}
System.debug(accToAdd); // |DEBUG|(Account:{Name=triggertest3}, Account:{Name=triggertest4}, Account:{Name=triggertest5})
insert accToAdd;
