Custom Error Messages for FastMap Validation

Enhance IBM OpenPages FastMap validation to support custom error messages defined at the workflow or validation level, similar to the messages displayed when validation fails through a workflow.

Currently, FastMap validates required fields and other object-level configuration rules independently. When a validation fails, FastMap displays its own system-generated error message rather than the custom error message configured for the corresponding workflow validation. Since FastMap and workflow processing are separate mechanisms, workflow-specific custom error messages are not currently applied to FastMap operations.

The proposed enhancement would allow administrators to configure custom, business-friendly validation messages that can also be displayed during FastMap uploads. This would provide users with clearer guidance on what needs to be corrected in the uploaded data, reducing troubleshooting effort and improving the overall user experience.

Business Value:

• Provide clearer and more meaningful validation errors to FastMap users.

• Reduce confusion caused by generic system-generated messages.

• Improve data correction and FastMap upload success rates.

• Maintain consistent validation messaging across workflow and FastMap processes.

• Reduce support and troubleshooting effort for business users.

Example:
Instead of FastMap displaying:

Required field is missing: Control Owner

The system could display a configured business message such as:

Control Owner is mandatory. Please provide a valid Control Owner before uploading the record.
