Need help in creating a validation rule,
As per the requirment,(see below)
I need a validation rule that does the following:
IF:
Production Type = Full Production, and Version = 1, or
Production Type = Full Production/Tax Update, or
Production Type = Full Production/Prelim, or
AND:
Value = [blank]
THEN:
Capture picklist options can only be:
Analyzing Files
Business Decision
Capture Analyst Out
ELSE:
Capture Status picklist options can be the existing complete picklist.
The Data type of Production Type,Version and Capture is picklist fields and Value is text field.
According to the requirment i have created a below rule:
AND(
OR(
ISPICKVAL(Production_Type__c,"Full Production"),
ISPICKVAL(Version__c,"1"),
ISBLANK(Value__c)
),
TEXT(Capture__c)<>"Analyzing Files",
TEXT(Capture__c)<>"Business Decision"
)
The problem with rule is that , Can't modify Production type,Version and Value fields until and unless i change Capture field to "Analyzing Files" and "Business Decision"
Could anyone help me on this rule.
Thanks in Advance!

This implies that if any of the 3 is valid, the status needs to be one of the 2 statuses.
If you intend that the status should only be checked in case of all 3 fields having the particular value, replace the OR by and AND.
Then if you change any of the 3 fields to another value, the status will no longer be required to be on of the 2.
