    Hi,

    A static variable is static only within the scope of the Apex transaction. It's not static across the server or the entire organization. The value of a static variable persists within the context of a single transaction and is reset across transaction boundaries.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    I think the scope for a Static variable in Apex is the entire transaction. Any static variables will maintain their value across that one transaction.

     

    Thanks.

    Hello Anurag,

    A static variable defined in a trigger doesn’t retain its value between different trigger contexts within the same transaction, such as between before insert and after insert invocations. Instead, define the static variables in a class so that the trigger can access these class member variables and check their static values.

    Hello Anurag,

    Also on Async call, the static variable will not work.

    Thanks.
