Hi,
I am trying to show a synchronous workflow error message on create of a record. The record is being created using Advanced forms. The message is showing up on the form, but it is showing at a different location compared to the other validation messages (See Screenshot). Is it possible to show the error message from the workflow at the same location as the other validation messages, or as a popup on the screen?
@eugenevanstaden - Tried this out recently and it worked. Thanks a lot !
@eugenevanstaden - Thank you. I will try this out and will let you know how I go.

As the alert item does not have an ID or reference you can use as selector, what I do is return a string as the custom error message (id_plugin_error), which I then use to select and move the item and present a predefined message.

var alertElement = $("p:contains('id_plugin_error')");
if (alertElement .length) {
$(alertElement ).parent("div").remove();
$("div.tab.clearfix").prepend('<div class="alert red" id="delete-failed" role="alert" tabindex="0"> <div class="cell"> <i class="fa fa-warning"></i> </div> <div class="cell"> <h4>Custom Header</h4> <p>Custom Error message</p></div> </div>');
}
This is what the error message markup will look like for the Advance form
<p class="text-danger"><span class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle" aria-hidden="true"></span> An unexpected error occurred from ISV code. (ErrorType = ClientError) Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): DummyPlugin.ThrowErrorPlugin: System.Exception: This is a dummy error </p>
As compared to the Basic Form which at least have an id of MessagePanel. This is a bit inconsistent and ideally should be fixed by Microsoft.
<div id="MessagePanel" class="message alert alert-info alert-danger alert-danger" role="alert"> <span id="MessageLabel" tabindex="0"><p class="text-danger"><span class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle" aria-hidden="true"></span> An unexpected error occurred from ISV code. (ErrorType = ClientError) Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): DummyPlugin.ThrowErrorPlugin: System.Exception: This is a dummy error</p></span> </div>
hi @eugenevanstaden can you give me some pointers on how to move it to another location ? I am not very familiar with DOM manipulation.
There are differences in how the error messages are generated in Advance forms vs Basic forms, especially errors triggered from plugins/workflow etc.
On the advance form it sits outside but you can try and move it with JS to the preferred location.
I raised this sometime back also.
