Process Automation

Hi Everyone, I got Stuck in the same challenge.
In Process Automation,
Automate Basic Business Processes with Process Builder
 
Create a process to update child record when the parent is updated.
You've been given a requirement to keep Contact addresses in sync with the Account they belong to. Use Process Builder to create a new process that updates all child Contact addresses when the address of the Account record is updated. This process:
Can have any name.
Must be activated.
Must update Contact mailing address fields (Street, City, State, Post Code, Country) when the parent Account shipping address field values are updated.
NOTE: You may have to deactivate the validation rule for the Contacts object (created from a previous challenge) in order to complete this challenge.


Again It shows an error.

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
There was an unexpected error in your org which is preventing this assessment check from completing: System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, Account number must be 8 characters long.: []

Can you please tell me how to deactivate the validation rule in contacts.

I havent gotten that far in the challenge.  I'm still trying to figure out how to rename the mailing fields.  So sorry to answer your question with a question, but maybe if I can figure out how to get to where you are I can help you.  2 questions: 1) parent Account shipping has like 5 fields are all of those supposed to be part of the criteria? 2) the action type I selected was update records in [Account]ParentAccountID.Contacts with no criteria.  The value I want it to insert into each field would be whatever the corresponding value in the Account shipping address field was just updated to.  Is there some special syntax to get it to enter this value?

So I may have figured your problem out, but since I'm still having the above troubles I can't verify.  In Validation Rules, find the rule you want  to deactivate, click on edit.  Right under the rule name there is a check box that says active.  Deselect it.  Save.

When you will complete your challenge please let me know and share the stepwise process.
That will be very helpful for me.

Hey, Mehak, did you ever figure it out.  I'm still at it.  Here's a thread I found that may have an answer for you.

Got it!

So you have to reverse what this post is doing (ie switch what they are calling contact and account) but the trick is this Null thing.
Don't understand why it worked but it worked. 
Good luck!
