how to set the value to parent lookup field on child field from anonymous window?

Question

Hi Can someone explain how to set the lookup (from account name value) to conatct name when creating contact from anonymous window.

List<contact> contactToSave = new List<contact> ();

Contact cont = new Contact();

Account acctRef = new Account(name='University of Arizona'); // need to set this name to contact which I'm creating below. Account name already available on org

cont.FirstName='Test1';

cont.LastName='Test2';

cont.Department='Finance';

cont.name=actRef;

contactToSave.add(cont);

insert contactToSave;

please explain how this works...

Hi Palukuru,

I think you are trying to create contacts for some existing accounts. You can do that by -

//Fetch the existing Account
List<Account> accounts = [SELECT ID FROM Account Where <PUT YOUR UNIQUE IDENTIFIER TO FETCH THE EXISTING ACCOUNT>];
List<Contact> allContacts = new List<Contact>();
if(accounts.size()>0){
    Contact singleContact = new Contact();
    singleContact.FirstName = 'John';
    singleContact.LastName = 'Miller';
    singleContact.AccountID = accounts.get(0).Id;
    allContacts.add(singleContact);
}
if(allContacts.size() > 0){
    insert allContacts;
}

Please accept my solution as Best Answer if my reply is helpful.
