Updating Rollup Summary field executes the parent object trigger?
I have one roll up summary field and on formula field on a custom parent object. Whenever the child updates, roll up field value also updates so does it fires the parent object trigger whenever roll up summary field gets updated.

Hi Himanshu,
Whenever the child record’s value change, perform calculations and updates the roll-up summary field on the parent record. Parent record goes through save procedure. So, updating the child inputs to a roll-up summary field can cause a trigger on the parent object to fire.
Thanks

Hi Himanshu,
Update Trigger is fired when there is any change in the field of that sobject, so whenever child updates, the roll up summary field on parent sobject updates which will fire the trigger.
Hope this helps.

Yes – Rollup summary field will fire the trigger. Rollup summary field update happens via a DML operation internally, so it does fire Workflow, Process Builder, and triggers associated to that object.
To avoid this, exclude this rollup field in your trigger exclusively so that the trigger is not fired when it hits the field update.

If the record contains a roll-up summary field or is part of a cross-object workflow, performs calculations and updates the roll-up summary field in the parent record. Parent record goes through save procedure.
So, updating the child inputs to a roll-up summary field can cause a trigger on an object to fire.
