Making a related list part of a validation

Hi,

 

I am trying to figure out how to make a related list mandatory on a custom object.  In other words my custom object shipping requests must have at least 1 shipping item which is my related list.

 

All assistance is appreciated.

 

Thanks Kindly

Hi,

 

If you can create a Rollup Summary to the parent object that counts the number of related records, you could use that in a Validation Rule to make sure at least one Rollup Summary.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
