Set Error Message within Business Rules

[kiley]

So for my current project, I need to set an error message on a planned start date field or planned end date field if they are outside the parameters set. I have everything working fine, meaning my conditions are all correct, but I cannot figure out how to get the error message to appear. Here is the code:

current.u_planned_end_date.setError("Please change the above date"); 
current.u_planned_start_date.setError("Please change the above date"); 

the names are correct (u_planned_etc.), for they worked in other code used inside the same rule, and I tried using "gs" instead of "current" just in case that was an option and it still did not work. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

Update: I found that code through the wiki page Scripting Alert, Info, and Error Messages - ServiceNow Wiki

I was able to get this to work out of the box.   I had a before insert/update business rule that set the error and aborted the action.

Are you using business rules or client scripts?
