Validation rule applies before commit

0
Hello together! I experienced a strange behaviour of a validation rule yesterday. This is my setup: Entity "Person" with string attribute "LastName". A validation rule on the entity says that "LastName" is a required field. According to the configuration, the validation rule is applied on commit. However, in one of my microflows the validation rule is applied before the object is committed. A change object action sets "LastName" with the value of another objects attribute (which might also be empty). Later on in my microflow I check whether "LastName" is empty and set it to a default value. Then I do a commit. Now I receive a validation error for the first change object action, if "LastName" is set to empty. How can that happen? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any feedback!

No, that is an error in the documentation apparently, validation rules are check on change, not on commit. If you want it to be done on commit, just create a bco event, that triggers a validation rule and returns false (or better, throw an exception)
