Field Validation ISBLANK(PRIORVALUE(field)

Hey Everyone - 

 

So I want to put in place a validation rule where they can't add to the field if it's blank but they can delete it.

 

 

OR(
(AND(PRIORVALUE(ISBLANK(field__c),
 ISCHANGED(field__c)),
(AND(PRIORVALUE(ISBLANK(field2__c),
ISCHANGED(field2__c))
)

 But it is telling me I have an error at the end of line 2 that I'm missing ")".

 

Suggestions?

Validation rules are executed at record save time. If an error condition is met, the save is aborted and an error message displayed. So no validation will come on deletion of record.

 

Try this one I hope will help you

 

OR(           AND(   ISBLANK(PRIORVALUE(Field1)) , ISCHANGED(Field1)   ),          AND(    ISBLANK(PRIORVALUE(Field12)) , ISCHANGED(Field12)   ))
