Hi,

Salesforce standard 'account' object has lookup relationship with standard 'contacts' object. i see a button 'new contacts' for adding contacts to the account record. I have a custom picklist field in standard object named 'status', (values: 'active', 'inactive' and 'to be remediated'),i want to ensure no contacts can be added to the account if the account 'status' picklist value is 'inactive'.

How do i do that? i am new to salesforce and appreciate your time in helping me, Thanks in advance.
