Set Form Event Status Message block

The block's behavior varies based on the context in which it's used, as outlined below:

• Within the Form Events block's Submit Tasks, Success Tasks and Error Tasks flow parameter context, this block will replace the form's customized success and error messages. In this scenario, it's advisable to employ the Alert Text block to convey your message.
• Outside the Form Events block's Submit Tasks, Success Tasks and Error Tasks flow parameters context, the message will appear in the form's general status section. Here, it's recommended to utilize the Alert Text block in its dismissible setting to showcase your message.

The block consists of a Value Parameter that accepts an text value containing the message.

This block only works when used in Form type pages. See Working With Forms to learn about how forms work.
