It's possible that this issue is caused by a recent update to SharePoint, which may have affected the way that validation messages are displayed. One possible solution is to try updating the list's validation settings by re-saving them with the desired error message. If that doesn't work, you could try creating a new list with the same validation settings and see if the error message is displayed correctly on that list. Another possibility is to check if there are any customizations or third-party add-ins that may be interfering with the validation process. If you're still unable to resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

    Microsoft appears to have fixed this since yesterday. I am now getting the error message configured on the list's "Validation Settings" page rather than the boilerplate error message. Yesterday I was still getting the boilerplate.

      I just tested it on our SharePoint site and it is showing the custom user message correctly for me instead of generic error message.

      Note: I am using targeted release tenant.

       

      Try removing and re-adding the formula & user message once to check if it works for you. If not, you might have to wait till new SharePoint update is applied to your SharePoint tenant.
