DreamHouse Realty wants to make sure an Opportunity has a field, `Expected_Close_Data_c`, populated before it is allowed to enter the qualified stage. How should an app builder solution this request?
A validation rule is used to stop users from saving a record when required business conditions are not met. Salesforce documentation explains that validation rules verify that record data meets defined standards before the record can be saved.
For this requirement, the validation rule would check that when the Opportunity stage is Qualified, the Expected_Close_Date__c field is not blank.
Record Type controls business process, picklist values, and layouts, but it does not enforce this conditional save requirement by itself. Activity History and page layout do not reliably stop record save based on stage logic.
