How to remove property name prefix in error messages set using Property-Set-Messages
Hi All,
I have a requirement to show error message for a certain field at both Property level and Page level at top of page. To accomplish this I am using Property-Set-Messages. But when the message is displaying at the page level it is always accompanied by the Property Name followed by the error message. The client requirement is to display only the error text at the page level. It should not be prefixed with Property Name.
To show the error at the top of page I am using a Custom error Section which will be visible if hasMessages condition is true and picks the error message using <%=tools.getPrimaryPage().getMessagesAll()%> embedded inside a label within the section.
Could you kindly advise how to eliminate the Property name from being prefixed at the page level error.
Thanks

I believe the results of GetMessagesAll() is coming from Value List:
pyOutput.pyErrors.pyMessages(1).pyErrorMessage on the clipboard.
Perhaps a data transform to loop through the values and truncate the beginning out based on the colon then add the result to your own value list or page list for display.
Let me know if this will work for you,

Hello Cecil, Thanks. I tried your suggested approach. I need to submit a screen and the Finish Assignment process invokes Activity SetOutput which is a Final rule. This activity creates the pyOutput page. I was finiding it difficult to get hold of this page after Submit but before the same screen is rendered back with errors. I believe i need to format the errors just before the screen is rendered using Javascript.
Hence I tried executing a script which invokes a function which inturn formats the mesages on pyOutput page. I was able to successfully do it, but Alas on the screen i still see the property names. I am suspecting that by the time am formatting the error messages it is too late in the sequence of events

My suggestion , for a Flow action Edit validate (Property level), Validate rules (Form level) and activity are the places where we can invoke error msgs according to a particular condition. The sequence in which they get called are Edit validate -> Validate -> Activity . We can avoid this problem if we can throw error msgs in activity rather than throwing at the validate level.
