How to validate embedded Page property with a validate Rule
We would like to validate a optional embedded page property only when this page presents.
We defined a validate rule for this page poperty, the validate rule called another validate rule which validates the properties under this page.
But the validation rule raises alway an error even the page doesn't exist.
I don't want to use an additional when condition to check the presence of the embedded page.

Hi @LiL95470,
From where are you referring the validate rule? You can try using the function: "@If(@PageExists(),True Condition,False Condition)" in the expression builder inside validation rule.

Hi @SrijitaB
Thank you for your answer, we are referring the validate rule with "obj-validate" method within an activity. We could also use a when condition at the step beginning. But i think the validate rule should be able to check if the presence of page before the validate.

Hi @LiL95470,
If you are not using when condition before executing the validate rule then inside validate rule please check if the page exists or not. In Pega, if you don't write the logic to check page exists or not then validate rule will throw error.

If you do not want to add another when condition, then the only way I could think of is setting a property flag in the Input tab of the validate rule, and based on that flag trigger the step.
