IBM Data and AI RegTech Ideas Portal

Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Custom Message for Workflow Validations

When having validations via the workflow, the error messages are fairly standard and depending on the naming of the field may not really describe what the user needs to do to fix the problem. It would be useful to have custom validation messages per validation that is shown. This would make the validations more powerful. The only other alternative are custom actions in workflow to perform the validation and then throws an exception with the message. While possible, it requires code to be written and maintained so makes this more involved than just configuring workflows.

    I completely agree that the platform should do this - it seems like it should be a very simple enhancement to allow a configurable error message in a validation rather than relying on the platform deciding what the message should be.

    Until then, a relatively simple custom java workflow component can be built to solve this problem and is something I have deployed in a number of clients.

    to further clarify this usecase we have validations that run complex advanced logic (1 and 2 or (3 and not 4).... ) up to 20+ conditions. The messages is too long for the screen and not readable. But I would love to be able to say 'if THIS validation fails please print "Validation Failure please make sure to check field X is less than field Y"'

    That would go a very long way to push end user experience.
