Show multiple errors in grid, rather than individual in slide out

We’ve got some custom code in a BPM (written by long gone programmer) that in Classic will bring up an error message box and list all of the errors in a single message as a row for each error. Easy peasy lemonsqueezy. But in Kinetic, each individual error message comes up as a separate slide out message that all have to be clicked OK through one-by-one. This is on POHeader table and we can get an error that replicates across every line, so potentially 10s of errors to click through.

I’m in no way a programmer, but it looks like the code is using Ice.Bpm.InfoMessageDisplayMode.Grid to group these particular errors into a single display in Classic. Is there a way to replicate this in Kinetic, so we don’t potentially get dozens of error messages that a user has to click through?

If the code is doing that, and not displaying that way in Kinetic, that sounds like a limitation in the new UI.

I don’t know if I would classify it as a bug, but it should be reported to support,

You know they are going to tell you to make an idea, so you might as well get on it… :safe_harbor:

I’d go ahead and make one, but I haven’t confirmed this behavior, so…

Of course, support tells me that they can’t help me and directed me to Professional Services, but not after first directing me to this site. Coincidentally, that’s the second time in as many days that Epicor Support has suggested I come here for help.

Is there a quota we have to reach before we start receiving our Epicor Support paychecks?

Finally got a definite answer from Support. They are telling me Development says the .Grid option now not working is by design and that I need to input an Idea to request it be put back. This despite their documentation calling that out as a valid option for Ice.Bpm.InfoMessageDisplayMode

Can anyone up on 2024.2 confirm whether or not the .Grid option works again?

Their 2024.2 C# Programming Guide document still lists it as one of two options for the InfoMessageDisplayMode code.
