    Hello,

    Below are the steps for allowing certain users to bypass a Validation Rule :

    1. Create a Custom Permission.
    2.Create a Permission Set and mark the Custom Permission as active in that set.
    3.Assign users to the Permission Set who should be able to bypass the Validation Rule.
    4.a line to the Validation Rule that references the Custom Permission

    Hi,

    Here is one strategy to bypass this behavior:

    Add a "Skip Validation" Checkbox field to the object
    Set the "Skip Validation" field to TRUE in a before trigger.
    Add logic to your validation rules so that they do not execute if "Skip Validation" is set to TRUE.

    Could you please say why you decided it is a good solution? are you really helping or just showing off? I mean author said "WITHOUT" changing VR. And you give a solution that requires changing VR.At least have respect to pay attention to this and say: "Unfortunately, I don't know the answer that fully meets the criteria, but here is an option to bypass a VR. Just in case, despite you never asking for any solution, you asked for a specific solution, w/o editing VR."
