Question

Validation rule for association

1

Hi, I’m trying to set a validation rule for an association whereby Entity3 grabs the data from Entity2, and from that association it becomes a dropdown menu. However, I am unsure how to validate this. Entity3_Entity2/Entity2/Attribute. In my case, I can simply validate Entity1 and Entity2, but Entity3 is the association and I want to validate the Entity2 association of Entity3 somehow. Thank you.

Hi Yusuf,

you can’t add a Validation rule for an association. But you could use a Before Commit Event Handler. Your validation logic will be in a microflow. Before returning false you can add a Validation Feedback action referencing the association. The result will be similar to using a Validation rule.
