validation Rule if the Checkbox is checked then fields are required for Specific Record Type

Hi All,,

I am writing the Validation rule for specific record type on check of check box i want the mobile field to become madator. I have written below code and it is not working :-

IF( RecordType.DeveloperName  = "Testing", AND(Text_Consent__c = True, ISBLANK(MobilePhone__c)), NULL)

If I just write below code it works fine :-
AND(Text_Consent__c = True, ISBLANK(MobilePhone__c))

Any idea what is going wrong when i am adding the record type.

Thanks,
Pankaj Pandey

I dont think i understand what this validation rule is checking for. A validation rule will give an error if the formula is true so I dont think you will need the if statment in there. If you do try this instead

IF(RecordType.Name  = 'Testing', AND(Text_Consent__c = True, ISBLANK(MobilePhone__c)), false)

Personally think it was due to the DevName VS name that you were using also might want to try single quotes and null can not be returned. The explaination for the if statement is below:

IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

Hope this helps!

Hi Pankaj,

Try to use this in your validation rule.Should work and replace 'testing' with a valid recordtype developername.
AND(RecordType.DeveloperName='Testing',Text_Consent__c = True, ISBLANK(MobilePhone__c))

just to clarify. Are you asking if you can make a field mandatory if both checkbox fields are not checked?

If this is what you are asking you might have to try a VF page and require the firld if it meets your criteria

Did you build the validation rule? I am looking for something similar.
