Migrate Target Report - Display Field description in the "Error Log Msg"
Users are requesting an option to include the field Description alongside (or instead of) the technical field name by default, so they don’t need to update it manually.
For example, instead of “BUKRS IS NULL,” the message would read “Company Code (BUKRS) is null.”
This would make validation easier, especially for business users who may not be familiar with technical field names.

TEAM - my fear here is the Length of that Message. The saving grace of SAP fields is they are all short. Adding a concatenated Z_ERROR_MSG with really long errors can get pretty ugly - I fear.
I’m not opposed to this assuming we have the Field Description. We could do ISNULL(DATA_ELEMENT_DESCRIPTION + ‘ (‘ + DATA_ELEMENT + ‘)’, DATA_ELEMENT) + ‘ is null’.
That is going to get very long. What do you think? We could truncate to some reasonable length (20 chars?) to keep it from being crazy.
Have to done this manually? You can change the message in the Reports. Would love to hear that you did this and it worked great before we change code and figure out it’s a terrible idea.
