Dropdown Choice Update force reselection

Hi all,

I have a drop down field with choices for a 'job status'. I've recently refined the list of choices, and I want to know if there's a way to force a user to have to select one of these new choices next time they update the job record.

Currently, they can leave the existing status in place and save the record anyway, with the choice highlighting in red in the report. 

Is there a way to do this?


Thanks in advance.

    I have not tested this myself, and I don't know if you are on Legacy forms or New style forms but I think you should be able to make a form rule that says when the record is saved and multiple conditions are true

    any of

    the value of the status choice equals XYZ, 

    the value of the status choices equals 123,

    Then the action is to abort to save and put up a message saying invalid status choice.
