Validation Rule Throwing Error When You Email a Job From Job Board

You may find a Validation Rule throwing an error when "Email this Job" feature is used on the Job Board.

• The "Email this Job" functionality creates a temporary contact and then sends an email from that temporary contact. Once the job is emailed the temporary contact is deleted.

Here is when the error is thrown.

1. The temporary contact is created without a record type therefore the Master default for pick lists is used.

2. The People status field has the master default set to Value B but the record type default for Value A.

To resolve this issue set Value A as the master default as well and the email this job functionality will work.
