Hello, I have a simple form that adds a row to a table but one of the columns in the new table is an api response. Its actually a Vehicle registration plate look up. however if the user inputs an invalid registration plate the form / workflow does not complete and it is not clear without looking in the workflows screen what has happened. Is there a way to either display an element or show a toast notification explaining the error. this is how my workflow is set up:

I would move the Call API step to the Data Editor, so that you can check the response before the form is submitted.
