Validating data before creating the object

chain

Hello everybody

I would like to validate a value of a field (type: number) before the object is created. Negative numbers are not allowed in this field so there should be a warning if a negative number is entered.

At the moment i am allowed to enter negative numbers and when i create the object, I get an error because of the invalid value and the object is not created. That is annoying because I (or the user) has to reenter all of the data.

I am thankful for any help.

Hi Clements....

Add a Rule to the Business Object....

Condition....

MyBO.MyAttribute < 0

Rule

REPORT ERROR 'Whoops! Negative Numbers not allowed"

Make the Rule Dynamic from the Advanced Tab.

Make sure the Attribute is NOT the last attribute on the form. The Rule will only be tested dynamically if you are able to Tab off of the form field to another field.

Hi Mark,

Confusing 😮 ... I could swear I tried it this way. But it works now. Thank you very much for your fast reply.
