I'm trying to add a validation rule for a custom field(Service_Date__c) in Case object. If a Service_Date__c > today(), then error message should be displayed as :

Service Date should be greater than today

But the rule should fire only for new records. I tried like this :

ISNEW(Service_Date__c > today())

Error: Incorrect number of parameters for function 'isnew()'. Expected 0, received 1.

What am i missing? How to do this?

Try this,

ISNEW() && Service_Date__c <= today()

IsNew doesn't neeed any parameter. It returns true for insert and false for rest.

    @user42000 - I modified the answer to reflect that the Service_Date__c should be greater than today. So it will fire if new and service date is < or = today

  • You need less than today or greater than today.
