Require Checkbox to be checked based off of picklist values and record type

AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, 'New Partner'), 
ISPICKVAL(StageName, 'Closed Won'), 
NOT(Verified__c),
RecordTypeId = '000000000'
)

 I thought I got this right, but it's not working like I thought.  I'm trying to create a rule if the check box is not checked.  It will work if I just have NOT(Verified__c) and nothing else, but when I add in the record type and picklists it saves w/o requiring the checkbox to be checked

Hi Lil,

 

Check with this validation rule may be it will work.

 

 

AND(
ISPICKVAL(Type, 'New Partner'),
ISPICKVAL(StageName, 'Closed Won'),
NOT(Verified__c),
$RecordType.Id  = '000000000'
)

 

One more the its better not to use ID as it is diff in Sandbox and Prod. So its better to use name instead of RecordType ID.

 

 

Thanks,

Kunal.

I tried what you suggested and still was able to save the opportunity without the box being checked.

btw - why are you using '$RecordType.Id  = '000000000'' instead of '$RecordType.Name  = "Name"?

double+triple check the spelling and punctuation of the values in your formula against the values in your fields.  Everything has to match EXACTLY: spelling, blank spaces, upper/lower case, EVERYTHING...
