Sorry, I didn't explain what is happening. If this fails on any of the constraints, it shows only the first message to the user. How do I get the request to show the correct message for the constraint that it fails on. For example, if it fails on the second constraint, the user will get the error for the first constraint.

Thank you.

Is UPHSDerivedStartOfPayCycle a Condition (which means boolean)? If so you might not need the = true there.

A constraint is saying "this must be true or else". They will be processed in order and will be tripped as soon as one misses. Run-time won't continue and figure out any of the remaining constraints and give a picture of anything that might have failed. Run-time hits the first failure, and gets out.

So, whenever UPHSDerivedStartOfPayCycle isn't true, you'll get the constraint message fired.

Thanks! I'll try that.

I tried removing the = true but it wouldn't save saying that at least one parameter needed to be present. Also, if I use the same date for an active employee, the action works fine. If I use the same date for an inactive employee, it fails but says the date is incorrect. It appears to be going thru the constraints, just not showing the correct message. I need it to show the pay cycle date message if the date entered is wrong and the inactive person message if the employee is inactive.
