Error messages on Release creation are unclear
Intended users
Problem to solve
Error message on Release page when there's already a release associated with the selected tag is generic and does not point the user to a solution
User quote from UX Scorecard
“This error message is really frustrating. It just told me it went wrong” (see insights)
User experience goal
The user should be able to see they selected an invalid option before they submit the form to create the release.
Proposal
- Introduce a validation error informing the user their selected tag is already associated to another release when they select it on the dropdown
- While the validation error is showing, the submit button (Create release) should be disabled
Validation text:
Selected tag is already in use. Choose another option.
Permissions and Security
No changes are expected to the current permission models or security considerations
