Public bug reported:

Tried to make a validation rule that checks if a value is larger than 0.

The data element I wanted to use has several categories, so I added all
in the "left side" expression, unchecking the "skip for missing values"
box (which by the way should be given a better name - is it skipping the
rule, or the missing values?). As the right side expression i added 0.
The rules does trigger a validation error, neither when filling only
some categories, or all.

Edit the formula, to have only of of the categories. Still does not
trigger a violation.

Finally tried to add the data element, without any categories (ie the
"total"). It is not clear is this is supposed to be supported, since the
"total" is not shown in the data element selection list when creating
the expression, as opposed to when making indicators. Using the total,
the validation rule is triggered, however, the "Left side" column in the
pop-up window always displays 0.0, no matter what value has been
entered.

Same issue on 2.10 and 2.12
