Need to create validation rule that does not allow closing task if check box is checked
I need to create a validation rules for a task that will not allow anyone to close the task if the check box "Follow-Up" is checked. I could not find any examples on the support page for validation rules with an example for this. Can anyone let me know how I can set this up?
It should be something like this
Follow-Up = True
if the Follow-Up is true then it throws the error saying that you cannot close the task
where do I put this argument?
In the task validation rule
right, I understand this, but there is nothing here to indicate what we want this rule to apply to. I need the check box to only regulate closing cases. so how do I link this statement to the act of closing the case?
Any advice on this?
It's quite easy i just implemented it, just go to task validation ruleand in formula wirte this
follow_up = true then save it
now to test it go to any task and select the checkbox follow up and try to save it, you get the error
my feeling you just need validation rule like below.
Error condition formula:
Follow_up__c = true && Text (Status) = 'Completed' /* completed is closed status. whatever your closed status , you can change the condition. */
