Validation Rule or Workflow Update when owner is changed
Is there anyone to have validation rules and workflow updates fire when a user does the Change Owner feature? Currently none of them seem to fire.
This is just off the top of my head, but I'd expect this would work in your validation rules or as a formula criteria in workflow:
ISCHANGED(OwnerId)
Try that.
I tried this for both a validation rule and workflow and it worked. My workflow rule fired when the owner changed and then did a field update. Where are you seeing the problem?
Best,

When I use ISCHANGED in my workflow rule with "formula evaluates to true" option, I'm getting this error...
Error: Function ISCHANGED may not be used in this type of formula
My formula is simply what you listed above:
ISCHANGED(OwnerId)
Any help much appreciated!

I figured it out. In order to use the ISCHANGED() function, you apparently have to have the Evaluation Criteria option set to "Every time a record is created or edited".
I had had it set to "When a record is created, or when a record is edited and did not previously meet the rule criteria"
