Cannot get custom server-side (not-equal-to) validation message to client-side UI

Tried all that i know to get the message to front but it is always a static output. Is it a bug?
Any insight anyone?


the static result on client side.

Are you sure it did the server-side validation and it was not coming from the client-side validation.

yes Patrick. i did test for this by specifically designing inputs just to test validation; it validates correctly but same output results where it does not show my input message but the default one always.
I gave up and going for database table structure changes in order to eliminate use of “not equal to”…
