Business value
With this feature, it's easier to resolve issues in Business Central. Error messages provide actions that take you to the page, or even a specific field on a page, so you can quickly fix the problem. These actions enhance productivity and keep workflows running smoothly.
Feature details
We've improved the user experience by making it easier to understand, go to, and resolve errors that come from the platform. Previously, when an error occurred, you had to manually go to the relevant page or area to address the issue.
You can now more easily read and understand the error messages that the Business Central platform generates because they no longer contain field names. However, messages still contain the full technical details, including field names, in the Detailed error message section. Select the Copy details icon on inline validation errors or in an error message to access the technical information.
Actions on error messages take you directly to the page containing a field that's causing the error, so you don't have to spend time finding it yourself. When you choose the action in the error message, Business Central takes you to the right location to resolve the error.
If you're a developer, when you call the TestField method and don't pass in the ErrorInfo object, Business Central automatically creates the link to a page where a user can fix the issue. Business Central first gets the lookup or drilldown page for the record. Then, it finds the card page or lookup page and adds a navigation link to that card page. Business Central doesn't add a link in the following situations:
- The error is on the page that's currently open.
- The user doesn't have permission to modify the underlying record.
