Validation rules: INCLUDES and INCLUDESANY operators

Workflow validation formulas now support INCLUDES and INCLUDESANY for checking whether text appears inside any element of an array field. Unlike CONTAINS and CONTAINSALL, which match whole array elements, these operators perform case-insensitive substring checks—useful when you need to verify that one or more keywords appear in fields such as line item descriptions.

See Formulas for the full list of validation operators.

  • INCLUDES(array, text) — returns true if text appears anywhere inside any element of array
  • INCLUDESANY(array, value1, value2, ...) — returns true if any of the values appears anywhere inside any element of array
