AudraNYC Validation rule on Activity or Event Type field
On Events, we have picklist options in the Type field that allow someone to mark the appointment as a particular type of sales call ("Sales Call: Face-to-Face" ). If they pick this particular type, we need them to fill out more information. To solve this, I'm trying to say, if the type is = "Sales Call: Face-to-Face" , then description and name fields are required.
Problem is, when I go in to create the formula, Type is not an option. I tried using "Call Type", which is not in the list, but also doesn't throw out a syntax error, the validation just doesn't work. It let's me save and does not show me the error.
AND(ISPICKVAL( CallType, "Sales Call: Face-to-Face" ),
ISNULL( Description ))

Text fields are never null. Try:
LEN (Description) = 0
