Hi there! Trying to create a pretty simple workflow validator:

Block the transition by validating that the **Request Type** is not equal to “Emailed Request”

This should display an error message letting the agent know they need to change the request type to something _other_ than Emailed Request in order to transition the issue.

I’m having a hard time figuring out how to make that work exactly with the Request Type piece.
