Hello,

I have a picklist with values A, B, C in them,

I want to force the user to chooseat least one of the choice.
Is there any standard way or should i implement any validation rule ?

Thank you for suggestion!

Hi Sandrine ,

You can write validation
ISPICKVAL(PicklistFieldName, "")  
Else if your field is visible in page layout you can check the required check box mandate in layout .

Both approch you can take to make mandate a picklist value .

Thanks

Hello Sandrine,

You can make that picklist required from the page layout. Then user must select any one value from the picklist.

If you find the answer correct make it as correct

Writing Validation Rule will be a good idae if you want this field to be
mandate foe any kind of update, i mena data loader, code aor nay API any where

If you dont want that it will be batter to make it required from page layout level only
