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
  1. Go to Work Items list view (Not inside sidebar)
  2. Click + New work item (inline input, not modal)
  3. Paste a 256+ character string into the title field
  4. Press Enter
