Use case: populate default dates on cancellation quote

This article describe the process of extending the Populate Value Plugin on the Property Component to pre-populate default date values in the Cancellation Quote flow.

The high level steps are:

  1. Extend the Populate Value Plugin for Default Cancellation Dates

    Create a new global class in Salesforce using the following code. You must check that the record does not already exist:

    global class Z_PopulateDefaultFieldsForCancelQuote extends 
        zqu.CancellationPropertyController.PopulateDefaultFieldValuePlugin{
        global override void populateDefaultFieldValue(
            SObject record, zqu.PropertyComponentController.ParentController pcc){
            if(record.Id == null) {
                //Populate default values in the quote header
                if(!Test.isRunningTest()) super.populateDefaultFieldValue(record, pcc); 
                record.put('zqu__CancellationEffectiveDate__c', 'Enter a Date');
                record.put('zqu__CancellationDate__c', Date.newInstance(2015, 10, 31));
                record.put('zqu__StartDate__c', Date.newInstance(2015, 10, 30));
                record.put('zqu__ValidUntil__c', Date.newInstance(2015, 10, 30));
            }
        }
    }
  2. Register the extended plugin

    To register the new plugin for default cancellation dates:

    1. Navigate to Zuora Config > Component Registration .
    2. Click Edit for the CancelQuote component.
    3. In the Component Plugins section, for the Populate Value Plugin, type the plugin class in the Class Name field: Z_PopulateDefaultFieldsForCancelQuote
    4. Click Update .
