Is there a way to customize the error text so that in the log it will read something other than "Field X does not comply with validation rule y"

Hi there,

I don't think there is a native way to alter the log message, but there's always more than one way to do things!

If I may ask, what exactly are you hoping to see instead of the normal error message?

Hey,

I'm not looking for anything specifically. Just that if there are multiple validation rules with different conditionals applied to the same field, they are both returned with the same error message with no reference to the conditionals underneath.

Thanks for your response.

Hello again,

I tried this out on my own installation, and I found that if a row breaks more than one validation rule, the errors tab will list all of the rules it breaks, and only the rules it breaks: 

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are asking for - can you provide any additional clarification?

Thanks for helping me understand!

Thanks for your response,

Yes, there may be a bit of misunderstanding with what I'm asking. In your second screen shot there are error messages. "Field ErrorField does not comply with validation rule Less Than 100......."

Is there a way to customize those error messages?

Hi again,

I'm afraid there's no built-in way to do that. 

I will convert this question to an idea.
