Apex Code Development You need to sign in to do that
Don't have an account?
Can i update another field using formula field or validation rule?
I want to know if this is possible in salesforce.Lets say i have an formula field and validation rule in account object.
I want to know if based on certain condition i can modify another field inside the formula field or validation rule.
Like if (name=='drug')
isValidRecord=false;
If user enters name as drug on account object,then on insertion the isValidRecord checkbox should be checked using validation rule or formula field.Is it possible using these?
Thanks and Regards,

You have to use Workflow rule + field update to achieve this
Create a new workflow rule on Account
Give it a name & description
Select the Evaluation Criteria as the 3rd option
Specify the rule criteria as Trader equals (leave the value as blank)
Select the action as field update and choose Trader field as the field to be updated
Choose use formula to set the new value and Enter the formula as Name
here's some help on how to create workflow rule & field update.
