Alright I'm trying to produce an error from a Multiple-select field of a custom record. Multiple selects are usually a pain to work around in workflows and in most places.. any quick ideas how I can make the error appear "IF a Selection = X" Maybe I could get around it with a Saved Search criteria? Unsure if that could work well with a Return User Error action Before Record Submit...

wfs are not great for this but SS should be fine?

Yeah that's the alternative I pitched, I tried to see if I could get the WF to trigger from a SS action but makes sense it wouldn't qualify for the SS until after the WF should have already triggered basically.
Ironically the WF does work to produce the error when I am trying to revert the error conditions lmao.

Unfortunately only after submit will work because the saved search reads from the database and the database isn’t updated until submitted so before submit wouldn’t catch it
Could you use the visual builder instead of condition builder? Then use a formula like {custom field} LIKE ‘%multi select value%’
j
I'll give that a shot next time, I know sometimes we can get around limitations using the builder for sure. The stakeholder was alright with the Saved Search emails to the assigned person (who would have made the change that would have triggered the error)

Workflow action script maybe?
