Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
Expected: Descriptive validation message (e.g. "Title must be under 255 characters") — same as the sidebar/modal creation flow
Actual: Generic text— "Some error occurred. Please try again."
Note: The sidebar work item creation correctly shows a descriptive error for the same input. This is an inconsistency between two creation code paths.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to Work Items list view (Not inside sidebar)
- Click + New work item (inline input, not modal)
- Paste a 256+ character string into the title field
- Press Enter
