Can we use formula field in ISCHANGED() formulas in Workflow rule criteria

Hello i want to use formula field in ISCHANGED() in Workflow rule criteria but i get error like bellow.

 

Formula :

 

IF( AND ( Risk_Rating__c = 'D' , Total_AR__c > 0 ,  ISCHANGED( Oldest_Due_Date__c ) , true, false) )

 

Note : here Oldest_Due_Date__c is formula field with Date return type.

 

Error: Function ISCHANGED may not be used in this type of formula

To make it easy :

 

This function is available only in:

  • Assignment rules
  • Validation rules
  • Field updates
  • Workflow rules if the evaluation criteria is set to Evaluate the rule when a record is: created, and every time it’s edited.

Thanks

 Hi I think you have not selected the radio option  Created and every time its edited.  I have added the formula and validated with no erros.

I know this is an older post - but just in case some ran across it I thought I'd add that the outer IF statement isn't required here.  

The following statement:
AND ( Risk_Rating__c = 'D' , Total_AR__c > 0 ,  ISCHANGED( Oldest_Due_Date__c )
would return the correct TRUE or FALSE values as as is.
