Validation rule error messages don't appear against field on Contact object

Hi,

 

i have a problem with validation rule on Contact object, Email field. Validation rule is blocking the execution fine, but the error is not appearing against the field.

i turned off all other vaidation rules and triggers just in case and still same result.

The same thing happens even if you modify the validattion rule logic just to TRUE. So the logic is not the issue here.

 

If i assign the error message output to a different fields, the error message is also not appearing. It does apear only when I assign the error message output to top of the page or to a field that is a merge field eg. First Name.

 

Do you have any ideas what kind of dependency is causing this issue? Because it is simple validation rule and I know it was working before but somehow I can't trace why it is not working now.

It looks like it was sth on Salesforce side. The support didn't provide the issue description though.

Hi,

 

If it is possible can you post your validation rule with validation rule criteria?

It doesn't matter what is there in validation rule: I was testing it with validation rule explicitly defined as "true". So it was never allowing the record to save.
