Trying to use a rule inside a validation

i agree that it's time to double-check for syntax errors. I'd suggest the OP post a screenshot of where the rule is called in their validation setup, just in case there's something being missed.

With the error, it looks like somewhere there is a space in the rule name or between the name and the brackets.
The only way to find it is to isolate the error. Try removing code blocks and see what was causing this issue. Once you find that block, start doing the same in that block too.

both the rules are returning boolean values individually? it will be great if you can share the code of your rules as well

It always returns a boolean, but adding toboolean() gives me almost the same error.

Also check to verify that it still returns a valid boolean response (and not, for example, nulls or an error) for all possible values of "a, b, c" that could be passed in from your interface. That would include passing in nulls, incorrect values, etc.

Also you could post the code for the rule that doesn't work, and/or a screenshot of its output.

Two things

Make sure your rule is returning a boolean value
Wrap toboolean() around both the functions so there isn't any type mismatch error.

Yes. It does return a boolean output.

At first glance the syntax looks valid - when you open the first rule and run it, does it return a valid (Boolean type) output?
