Hi Everyone

I'm facing difficulties customizing error handling while printing a report. I want this process to break when the generated XML exceeds a specified length.
In the screenshot below you can see this works as designed (Yellow error log at the top) but the process keeps adding the standard "Something went wrong while generating the report"-box.

I'm looking for a solution to this problem by:

Option A: avoiding this box entirely and just prompt the yellow error line.
Option B: customize the text message inside the box to more accurately describe the issue.

Any Thoughts?

Kind Regards,

Sander
