Validation rule using Confiforms

NA1021

Hello,

I’m still learning how to use Confiforms.

I have a form that includes two fields: status (field type dropdown) and requester (field type user). I am trying to create two separate validation rules:

Allow only one person (first name Jane for example) to change the status from status:1 to status:2
Allow only the person who made the request to change the status to status:5

I used Rules for Field Definition macro. Here’s how I set it for the first rule:

And the second rule:

I can’t get either one to work. For the first rule, when I test it and change the status from 1 to 2, the validation rule always executes even if I (as the current user) is myself or login as Jane. Similarly for the second rule, if I change the status to 5, the validation rule executes even if I am or am not the requester.

What’s the correct way to set these rules?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. I made the changes and I still am seeing the same issues. The condition for each rule always triggers the rule to execute.

Is there something else I might be doing wrong?

Hi @NA1021

For your first rule remove the "Validation rule" parameter value and set the "Condition" parameter to be

hasChanged(status):true AND status:2 AND _previousState.status:1 AND !_user.firstName:Jane

And for your second rule, also remove the the "Validation rule" parameter value and set the "Condition" parameter to be

hasChanged(status):true AND status:5 AND !requester:[entry._user]

I dont know what are you doing wrong, but this is clearly working for me...

Here is a quick demo:

Thanks for creating the example. The macros looks the same as what I have albeit my form has more fields with other rules. I wonder if my something I did incorrectly in my other rules are the cause of the issue. I'll keep looking for now and report back if I find the root cause.
