Description

Description

When setting an error message on an Exception from AppActions, the actions consumer only receives a generic exception message.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Add a where clause and deploy an actions sample from https://github.com/microsoft/App-Actions-On-Windows-Samples.
  2. Launch the App Actions Testing Playground
  3. Run the action with an entity that does not match the provided where clause
  4. See that the error message shown is a generic response
Expected Behavior

The error displayed in the app should be the descriptive error set from AppActions

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by deploying an actions sample with a where clause from App-Actions-On-Windows-Samples and running it in the App Actions Testing Playground. Trace how the descriptive exception message is passed to the actions consumer; done means the app displays that message instead of the generic response.
