update parent field based on child records

Hello,

 

How can i concat mulitple line items to single string value?

 

For an example: Object B have 3 line items records like Test1, Test2, Test3

So set a single field (textarea) on the Object A with list of all line items records in Object B.

 

Thanks in advanced!

Yeah, you can do that.  How exactly you go about it depends a bit on where you are executing the apex, but the basic premise is:

 

Account acc=[select id, All_Contacts__c, (select Name from Contacts) from Account where id=:myAccId];

acc.All_Contacts__c='';
for (Contact cont : acc.Contacts)
{
  All_Contact__c+=cont.Name + ':';
}
