Danielle S by pass validation rules in flows
Hi all,
I have a flow that update a custom field called Comment. from the Account record page , a user select multiple opportunities and update this fields.
The problem, is when Close date is in the past , the flow is producing an error because of the validation rule that we have for close date ( must be in the present or in the future).
Could you please advice on a solution to prevent this error to occur ?
thank you

Thanks,
I tried both solutions provided in the articles you shared but for some reason , it does not work.
The first problem is that the validation rule does not fire when we update opportunities with close date in the past.
Indeed, when I update the flow using the flow , I am getting an error.
for the solution with the Toggle : I have a doubt about hte fomulat. I followed what they did in the article and I selected my Get opportunities variable and I added .Toggle__c , but I got this error : The element has an invalid reference to "Get_opportunities.Toggle__c".
Then I tried to this formulat : IF(Toggle__c}= TRUE, FALSE,TRUE) , then I got The formula expression is invalid: Syntax error
I finally used : IF({!recordId.Toggle__c}= TRUE, FALSE,TRUE) , the syntax is correct but the flow is not working .
Below is the Ge Record element I used in the flow
I appretiate your help and advice,
thnak you !
