Error: "The Server Was Unable To Save The Form At This Time"
I have a SharePoint Online (SPO) list hosted on an SPO team site. I am the Site Owner and the Site uses default permissions. I have implemented a list validation rule that enforces that a date column...

Sounds like it's working as advertised. You set list validation to enforce a rule to make Task End greater than/after Task Start. So when you violate that rule, you can't save the form. That's what validation does.
If you no longer want that list validation, then turn it off at which point you should be able to save the form as usual. But you do run the risk of having end dates prior to start dates.

- LuiIacobellisApr 10, 2023Iron ContributorThanks for the comment. What I should have clarified is that Sharepoint is not displaying the error message that I've programmed. So while the validation is working, it's not communicating to my users why the form is not being saved

Same. Form validation is working, but when validation fails, the error message displayed is the boilerplate "The server was unable to save the form at this time", not the message specified in the "User Message" field of the list's "Validation Settings" page. This behavior changed for existing lists recently (last week? not sure; noticed it on Friday) - they used to display the configured error message but are now displaying the boilerplate.
