This update ensures that users have better control over their workflow edits while maintaining data integrity. For more information, refer to Canvas User Interface.

Error Message Configuration on Engage Modules

Enables users to customize error messages for better clarity and improved user experience.

Description:

This feature allows users to define and personalize error messages displayed when input validation fails across different modules. Previously, default system-generated messages were shown, but now users have more flexibility in guiding end-users with specific instructions.

Key benefits include:

• Customizable Messages: Users can define error messages instead of relying on generic system prompts.

• Default Error Messages: Error messages are automatically populated based on the selected tag type.

• Dynamic Updates: When changing the tag type, users receive a prompt informing them that the current error message will be updated to match the new tag type.

• Enhanced User Experience: Provides clear, actionable feedback for incorrect inputs.

• Multi-Module Support: Available in prompt, form, and other input-based engage modules.

• Improved Validation Handling: Ensures users receive precise error instructions, reducing confusion.

• Variable Insertion: Users can open the variable menu by entering {{ in the error message field, allowing them to add relevant attributes like numeric range or character limits.

• Restore Default Message: If a message has been customized, the user has the option to revert it to the system-generated default message. This option is disabled when the message is already at its default state.

• Validation Rules: Users can add additional validation rules to error messages to enhance input accuracy and compliance.

This update empowers users to tailor error handling, making workflows more intuitive and user-friendly. For more information, refer to Form Module and Prompt Module.
