This answer is slightly different if you're on new forms or legacy - but in the 'Actions' part of the form rule there are two things:
- Prevent Save - so this wouldn't pop up with the message until you hit save but the action for prevent save will have a text input for your commentary
- Display Message and you can pick the type (modal, notification, field) that will fire immediately when your condition is met. So if you trigger the rule on the checkbox changing to true meaning their entry is now wrong it'll pop up the message.

Looks like I am on a legacy form. Is there an option to do this there?

On Legacy forms, the option is under
"When the record is saved",
There is an option to Abort the Save (with a message).

Hi Mark, question on my form rule. For some reason that is confusing me, users have been able to submit the form even when the rule should block them. Here is what I have:
I have a "Start Date" field: regular Date field. This is the field I am checking to see if it is more than 14 days from today.
I have a "StartDateRule" formula checkbox field that contains the following formula: If([FRF_StartDate] <= Today() + Days(14), true). So if the StartDate field is within 14 days of current date check this field.
My rule is the following:
My issue is I have had a couple of forms submitted with dates that fall within the 14 days and the formula checkbox is checked.
Here is a screenshot of the sent out form submission notification:
This form, by rule, should not have been able to be saved. Any idea why this may be happening?
Thanks,
Brian
