Validation Condition to Know which Item Triggered Validation on Validations with Multiple Items
Completed
I would like the ability to write a Validation condition based upon which Item triggered the validation, so as to reduce the number of Validations and/or Universal Functions that are needed. I could see some dynamic syntax like Item.TRIGGERED that could be used to know which item triggered the validation so different tasks could be performed.

Update! I did find the $[CURRENT_ITEM] special keyword and this works in the Validation SQL condition. To minimize the number of validations and universal functions, I tried to use the $[CURRENT_ITEM] in a Macro Conditional Statement and it did not work.
To be clear, this is what I did, that did not work:
1. Create a validation that is triggered by multiple Items ("Validating a Field")
2. Validation Condition was set to "No condition, just execute function"
3. UF macro was created that included IF Conditionals around $[CURRENT_ITEM].
Does the special keyword $[CURRENT_ITEM] get lost from validation to universal function?

It seems to be working fine as far as I can tell

Rasmus, I had put single quotes around the keyword $[CURRENT_ITEM] per the Boyum manual snippet below.
Once I removed the single quotes, everything started working. Thanks for your example above.

Goo to hear. Will fix sample...
