Match each data quality business requirement on standard or custom objects with the correct Salesforce validation rule formula function or logic pattern used to enforce it.
- Detect whether a field value has been modified during an update, preventing the validation rule from firing on unchanged records.ISCHANGED(Field_Name__c)
- Retrieve the previous value of a field prior to an update to ensure a numeric metric cannot be decreased.PRIORVALUE(Field_Name__c)
- Verify if a text or lookup field is null or contains no value, ensuring robust cross-type empty checks.ISBLANK(Field_Name__c)
- Evaluate the value of a single-select picklist field inside a validation formula expression.ISPICKVAL(Picklist_Field__c, "Target_Value")
Cevap
Each business requirement maps to its corresponding formula function: ISCHANGED checks for field modifications, PRIORVALUE inspects the pre-save value, ISBLANK checks for missing values, and ISPICKVAL tests picklist selections.
Each validation rule requirement corresponds directly to its standard Salesforce formula function: ISCHANGED determines if a field value changed in the current save transaction, PRIORVALUE retrieves the field value immediately preceding the current edit, ISBLANK detects empty or null states across field types, and ISPICKVAL evaluates picklist field options.
