> Schema Designer should not simply throw generic errors that do no help the user. For instance, when a user tries to create a field that already exists, there is just an error processing banner. Ideally, you could grab the important detail in the response body and show it to the user. Consider `data["error"]["details"][0]["errorMessages"][0]` as seen below to populate the banner with something helpful to the user: > > ``` > Possibly unhandled rejection: {"data":{"responseHeader":{"status":400,"QTime":1},"error":{"metadata":["error-class","org.apache.solr.api.ApiBag$ExceptionWithErrObject","root-error-class","org.apache.solr.api.ApiBag$ExceptionWithErrObject"],"details":[{"add-field":{"stored":"true","indexed":"true","uninvertible":"true","name":"name","type":"string"},"errorMessages":["Field 'name' already exists.\n"]}],"msg":"error processing commands","code":400}},"status":400,"config":{"method":"POST","transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"jsonpCallbackParam":"callback","data":{"add-field":{"stored":"true","indexed":"true","uninvertible":"true","name":"name","type":"string"}},"url":"techproducts/schema","params":{"wt":"json","_":1622686070279},"headers":{"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*","X-Requested-With":"XMLHttpRequest","Content-Type":"application/json;charset=utf-8"},"timeout":10000},"statusText":"Bad Request","xhrStatus":"complete","resource":{"add-field":"..."}}`` ` > ``` Can you please provide reproduction steps for how you got this error (including browser details)? Schema Designer UI should be displaying user friendly errors in a dialog. Moreover, I don't even know how you got this error since the JS code validates the field doesn't already exist before submitting the request. See screenshot of what I see in my env. <img width="357" alt="Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 9 32 19 AM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/417074/120671957-1c3aad00-c44f-11eb-8c62-ff6051ba9316.png"> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
