I am trying to write a validation rule on the status of an opportunity object. The scenario is like when the Opp Record type is " IN APP" the status should be read only. No one can change the status.If they try to change it an error message should be displayed.

Any help in this is really appreciated.

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

Try isChanged(Status) && Status == 'In App'. This will prevent any Status updates, so you need an "out" clause for whenever the Status can be updated again

According to your scenario the following formula should work RecordType.Name = 'IN APP' && ISCHANGED(Status).Where Status is a field name.
