validation error related to user selection field
Hi everyone,
I have requirement that an Account has multiple contacts. If we select a 'talent' checbox field on one contact-1 then the user should not be able to select that 'talent' checkbox field on another contact-2 it should throw an error message before saving the record and also when we edit the record. It means only once that 'talent' checkbox field should be able to check on any one Contact.
How can I acheive this, please help me with sample code.
