I want to show error message on aborting action in Business Rule. My BR is before update, the abort action is working fine but the error message is not displaying, it is only showing once the form is reloaded. And with my BR form is not reloading automatically it has to manually reload.
I checked in the existing community posts but did not get proper solution. Anyone has any idea or any other way how can i achieve to show error message on aborting of action.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Double check that your errormessage is before the aborting action in your business rule script.
