Resolution

Before 2H 2024, there was a problem where the errors raised by the functions called within the time sheet validation rules were ignored. This was wrong.

With 2H 2024 release, this issue is fixed and now the invocation of the time sheet validation rules will properly catch the errors raised by the functions called within the time validation rules, and also correctly stop the time sheet validation rule execution. 
This is why you will experience this error after 2H 2024. 

So as solution, please check and adjust the function configurations within your time sheet validation rule.

In order to pinpoint which time validation rule and which function should be adjusted, below steps can be referred to.

  1. Please collect rule trace when the "Time sheet validation rule execution failed" error is raised.
  2. Download the rule trace.
  3. Search for [Error].
  4. Then you will be navigated to the detailed line with error raised by the function within the rule.

After the detailed error message and the corresponding function raising this error are identified, you can then move on to adjust the function call configuration to get over the error.
