I was about to type same idea it is really bad and not user friendly to shows ajax call return etc…

Yes this need to be by default when raising an error in dynamic actions, but there is a way to prevent this big message , and its by creating an error handling function to catch the error and use substring when the error code is -20000 and return only the message.

This idea covers a similar topic, but in fact it's not a duplicate.

Instead of having to create yet another DA (FR-2573), in this idea we simply need to enter the Success and Error Message which I find much more convenient and straightforward.

Maybe it's feasible to implement both ways (simple/advanced) and have the developer decide which approach to use.
