How to compare 2 choice fields (dropdown) using validation rule

You should be fine with this rule on your loss status field:

and(contains(EventType, "Root Loss"),contains(Lossstatus, "Not applicable"))

Hi Enrico this is working.

Is it possible to do semicolon separated validation in the same rule like

and(contains(EventType, "Root Loss"),contains(Lossstatus, "Not applicable")) ; and(contains(EventType, "Root Loss"),contains(Lossstatus, "some other value"))

Great to hear it is working.

No this is not possible. The mechanism always has to validate to a single true or false. If you have multiple rules you may

- have one rule with an expression reach, in your case this would result in 2 rules or

- wrap your parts with an and or or depending on what is appropriate, like

or(and(contains(EventType, "Root Loss"),contains(Lossstatus, "Not applicable")), and(contains(EventType, "Root Loss"),contains(Lossstatus, "some other value")))

Hi Eric,

The rule provided is working for check 2 nested values. If more than 2 its not validation.

The following your rule i manipulated to achieve is follows
