Prevent user from editing a record if field contains specific value

Hi,

Is it possible to prevent users from editing a record based on a specfic value in a field?  
For example users should not be able to edit a opportunity record if Stage equals 'Won OR Lost'?

Would appreciate any help!!

Hi Ossie,

Yes you can do this using Validation Rule.

You can create Validation Rule on Opportunity (Setup --> Customize --> Opportunities --> Validation Rule)

Create New Validation rule with following formula :
IF(OR(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(StageName),"Closed Won"),ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(StageName),"Closed Lost")) , true, false)
If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.

Thanks,
Vatsal

Hi Ossie,

create the validation rule on Opportunity by using the following formula

(OR(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(StageName),'Closed Won'),ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(StageName),'Closed Lost')))


I am verified this formula 'Through error message as u like ex:Record is in ReadOnly mode'

check your self if it correct then marks it best answer
