Changed To / Changed From

I have a old form I am currently trying to migrate to the new format.  The old form has a rule:

when the record is saved, 

if [Field Name] 'has been changed to' "this"

and

[Field Name] 'has been changed from' "that"

Abort save and say "cant do that"

I am having trouble replicating this in the new form, as it doesn't have 'changed to' and 'changed from'.  Any ideas on how to achieve the same result?

    The new forms don't have this behavior as of yet to my knowledge (or at least the last time I checked) - you will have to find a workaround for now by freezing the old value into a field on the form and then comparing. So that might look like: 

    1. A rule that when the record is saved - store the value of your field into a 'Freeze' field
    2. Before rule (1) fires - compare the current value of the field to the freeze value and if it fails your test abort the save - otherwise let it through and allow the above rule to fire so the freeze value resets.
