Auto setting importance level on custom form
 

I have successfully created vbscript which auto sets the importance
level on an Outlook custom form message when a particular item is
selected in a custom combo box.

However, our network security has been upgraded and VB script in
outlook forms is being blocked, so my code will not run.

Has anyone run into this problem?

Can I work around this through a validation formula(ie
IIF(cmbo1="Action",importance = 2, importance=1)

Auto setting importance level on custom form
 

A validation formula must return True if the data is "good" and False if not. No other type of formula is allowed.

What you need is a value formula on the Value tab, not a validation formula. Use the Edit button and select the field in the editor and you'll see that the name of the field needs to be in square brackets.
