Hi,

I would like help in extracting & displaying the error that results from an update (in case of failure).

In my case, the failures are usually the result of a validation rule, and I would like to display the Rule's error (and hopefully the rules name).

Event more optimistically, I would like the error to be displayed next to the field, as in theregular Salesforce behavior, but I don't know how to do that, so back to basics:

I'm using Ajax toolkit to update a field, I show the result in an Alert. I can see what looks like a class literal, it seems that I would like to extract the string called "message".

The relevent portion of the code is colored. 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js")}var question = "You are about to ";if ( {!Timesheet__c.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c}) question+= "DISABLE";else question+= "ENABLE";question+= " manual override for this timesheet, \nAre you sure?"if (window.confirm(question)){ var timesheet= new sforce.SObject("Timesheet__c"); timesheet.id = '{!Timesheet__c.Id}'; timesheet.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c = {!NOT(Timesheet__c.Inclusive_Rate_Validation_Override__c )}; var connection = sforce.connection;sforce.connection.serverUrl = "/services/Soap/u/16.0"; var result; var callComplete = false; result = connection.update([timesheet]); if (result[0].getBoolean("success") ) window.parent.location.href="/{!Timesheet__c.Id}";else alert("Cannot Disable Manual Override, check that validation rules are held\n\nFailed to update Field with error: " +result[0]);}

 The result I get looks like the following (I think this is a javascript class literal). I would like to extract the message.

Cannot Disable Manual Override, check that validation rules are held Failed to update Field with error: {errors:{fields:'Standard_Inclusive_Rate__c', message:'Standard Inclusive rate must be in the range [6..25]', statusCode:'FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION', }, id:null, success:'false', }

Thanks so much
