Explainer

When a record is saved, Salesforce does not run every data-quality check at the same time. System validation is the platform's built-in checking for required values, field formats, maximum lengths, and layout rules; custom validation is the formula-based validation rules you write. The first server pass depends on whether the save came from a standard UI page, a multiline line-item create, or an Apex or API call, and before-save flows and before triggers run before Salesforce repeats most system checks and evaluates custom validation rules.

Core information
  • System validation is Salesforce's built-in save checking: required values at the layout level and field-definition level, valid field formats, maximum field length, and layout-specific rules. Custom validation is a validation rule whose formula or expression returns True when the data is invalid, displays an error, and prevents the save.
More details and nuances
  • If a workflow rule field update later updates the record, Salesforce runs system validations again but does not run custom validation rules, flows, duplicate rules, Process Builder processes, or escalation rules again. A workflow update can therefore store a value that a validation rule would have rejected.
