referenced an unsupported field type called "Picklist (Multi-Select)"

We had a Picklist control which we are changing to Picklist-Mulitselect.  The picklist control had  a validation rule  which we want to retain on Muliselect control as well.

 Validation Rule :

IF(OR( ISPICKVAL(Contact_Type__c, 'Client-Former GDC'),  ISPICKVAL(Contact_Type__c, 'Client-Former Project') ), LEN(Former_Account_Name__c)<>0,FALSE)

  While checking syntax for above formula, I am getting error like

 Error: You referenced an unsupported field type called "Picklist (Multi-Select)" using the following field: Contact_Type__c

 Note:Contact Type was a picklist which we have changed to Multiselect

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

 

Regards

Umesh

The documentation states that multi-select picklists are not supported for validation rules.
  • Validation formulas cannot reference merge fields for auto number, multi-select picklist, or compound address fields likeMailing Address. However, merge fields for individual address fields, such as Billing City, can be used in validation formulas.

If anyone figures out a way around this, I would like to know, I have the same issue.  I am trying to address it with a trigger, but that is a more complex solution to implement and maintain.
