I would like to create a validation logic where a specific value is selected on a field if user selects "Yes" on a field that precedes it.

For example, we have a radio button field question:

Urgent request?

- Yes

- No

The following field is a single select field with value options:

Urgency Level

- Standard

- Expedited

- Urgent

Can someone help with a validation logic? Thanks!

hi, here's a link to how validation logic works.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/administration-and-setup/customize/custom...

"If the field with the logic applied meets the defined validation conditions when a user fills out the custom form, the field is highlighted and the error message is displayed."

In other words, validation logic does not preselect a field's option for you -- it presents an error message if you select the wrong option.

Hi ZaidaGr1,

I wonder if you may be confusing validation logic with display logic? In display logic, if someone answers "yes" to first question then you can have the second question pop-in and make it a required question so the user needs to select one of the three choices...is that what you're intending?

Hi @Kurt_Jones - I realize now that I didn't fully complete my post. Here's the entirety of what we want to use validation logic for:

If user selects "No" on a field that precedes it, then the second field, which has three value options, would have a specific value selected that aligns with the "No" question - in this case No = Standard.
