Hi  Khushi,

Create validation rule on candidate object. below is syntax for the same

IF(NOT(ISBLANK(FirstName)),ISBLANK(LastName) ,IF(NOT(ISBLANK(LastName)),ISBLANK(FirstName),false))

I write this rule and it works
OR(
(First_name__c ="" && Not(ISBLANK(Last_Name__c))),
(Last_Name__c ="" && Not(ISBLANK(First_name__c)))
)

Hi Khushi,

Greetings to you!

Use the below code to solve your problem.
And you can modify it accordingly.
  
Trigger--
trigger CandidateTrigger on Candidate__c (before insert, before update) {
     if(trigger.isBefore){
        if(Trigger.isInsert){
           MandatoryField.fillMandatoryField(trigger.new);
        }
       if(trigger.isUpdate){
         MandatoryField.fillMandatoryField(trigger.new);  
    }
}
}

Apex controller--

public class MandatoryField {
    public static void fillMandatoryField(List<Candidate__c> candidateList){
        try{
        for(Candidate__c candidateObj : candidateList){
            if(candidateObj.First_Name__c == Null){
                candidateObj.addError('Please fill the first Name of contact');
            }
            else{
                if(candidateObj.Last_Name__c == Null){
                  candidateObj.addError('Please fill the Second Name of contact');
                }
            }
        }
        }catch(Exception ex){
            System.debug('Exception in code ::'+ex.getCause()+'Exception in line number ::'+ex.getLineNumber());
        }
    }
}

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
