Add details to "This operation could not be completed" error messages

It appears that whenever Revit has any kind of issues with a network connection or connection to Revit server, it is only able to display the following generic error dialog to the user:

This dialog is not at all helpful in identifying what may be wrong with the model, server, or network. In all cases when a user is shown this message I end up having open up and search through their journal file in an attempt to figure out what's going on.

 

I understand that proper UX design typically does not expose internal error messages directly to the user. However, a message this generic is essentially useless. 


It would be great if the detail about the exception thrown on the user's computer, or server were accessible through the actual error dialog

It is 2023 now and I get this in an ACC project:

Which one of the two statements is correct? The project team say they all get this message when synchronizing. The Sync goes through despite the message.
