Warn Validation Rule

Unknown

I am having an issue with a validation rule. When it is set to break level warning nothing shows on the form at all. However when the break level is Fatal I do get the error next to the form elements and on the submit button.

I have attached the settings of my rule.

Can you let me know if I am doing something wrong?

Your options for this use case would be to check an event trigger to run this rule OR automatically run the rule by checking the Run Rule on Form Show setting.

When you create a validation rule, by default the Run Rule on Form Show settings check box is not selected. This means that when the form is opened, the rule to check the validation is not setup to run automatically. Therefore there has to be some sort of trigger to run this rule.

No triggers are set by default.

The only exception to this is when a validation rule is set to break level Fatal. If the user tries to exit the form and a validation rule that is set to Fatal fails, than the flow cannot be exited until this validation rule evaluates true. If the break level is set to Warning, the warning validation does appear, but it happens the same time the form is exited. This is because a Warn break level validation can not stop the form from being exited. Only a Fatal break level can accomplish this.
