How do I prevent a change based on an existing value?

Question

Hi:

I am trying to create a business rule that will stop a value change based on the existing value. For example, if the telephonenumber is 1234 for a group and has to stay that way, I need it to stop anyone changing it to a different value. I have tried creating a business rule but it seems the value it uses is the incoming value of the change, not the existing value.

Thanks!

Hello,

You are right, the current property value can only be obtained in a script. You will need a business rule triggering Before updating a group that will cancel the operation based on the script condition results. For details, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_SimplifyingDataEntry_ValidateModifyUserInputWithScript.htm.

Awesome, that worked for me using the $Context.GetModifiedPropertyValue. Thanks!
