Validation rule on $Priority work item, restrict valid input

Hi, I am trying to create a validation rule at the Work Item level that restricts the value in the Priority field to be between 1 and 10 or any other integer value range. I have input the following to

Settings->Configure->Work Item->Validation Rules:

Rule Name: PriorityValidation
Run Time: Every Time a Record is created or edited
Evaluation Criteria: ($Priority >= 1) && ($Priority <= 1000)
Error Message: Please enter 1 to 10

Rule is enabled.

This would seem correct to me but it will still allow me to enter values like 11 and 0. If I enter a value like 5 then it errors and sends me the error message I have input to the rule. Screenshot attached.

If anyone can assist that would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I believe I have managed to work this out myself - just add the following:

Not(($Priority > 0) && ($Priority < 11))

So a basic logic error - please do try this out if you find it useful...

Hi Andrew,

 

You got it correctly! In order to validation rule to comply you need to pass the evaluation criteria (IF Eval=TRUE). In addition as best practice you want the validation rule would fire only when it's need to for performance optimization and therefore I would add the evaluation criteria - (isChanged($Priority) || isNew())

 

Good luck!
