Public groups in validation rules
Hi
I created a validation rule which uses $UserRole.Name in its condition. But there are too many roles that I have to use in my validation rule.I have a public group which contains various roles. I want to use some thing like "$Group.Name" instead of "$UserRole.Name". Is that possible?
My validation rule is as folows.
AND( ISBLANK( Date_of_Birth__c ) ,
OR(
$UserRole.Name = 'Operations',
$UserRole.Name = 'Sales Manager',
$UserRole.Name = 'Sales Agent',
$UserRole.Name = 'Outbound Agent',
$UserRole.Name = 'Outbound Manager',
$UserRole.Name = 'Support Manager',
$UserRole.Name = 'BlueDirect Support Rep',
$UserRole.Name = 'Agent',
$UserRole.Name = 'Manager',
$UserRole.Name = 'TX Agent',
$UserRole.Name = 'TX Manager')
)
Please let me know if there is any other to achieve this.
No you will not get public groups in validation rule , I would suggest you to write a trigger for this validation. If you have any issue in writting trigger I can help you in it.
Can let me how I can create a trigger in such an instance?
Thanks

Hi,
Use the Hierarchy Custom Setting. Load all the Roles and User's data.
You can use Hierarchy Custom Settings in validation rules.
Ex:
$Setup.ObjectName__c.FieldName__c
