Goals
...
Magnolia has to show messages related to specific attributes of items in lists, trees and grids. An example of this is the inline editing in trees, which allows me a user to change e.g. the page name without having to open the page properties edit dialog first.
For errors, I the user usually have has to fix the error in order to successfully complete an ongoing operation to complete. Alternatively, I he may choose to not fix the problem and cancel the operation entirely. If I he decides to cancel the operation, all previously stored values are restored, if they exist.

Concept
Validation messages inform of a problem caused by an input operation of the user.
...
If a validation message reports a warning or simply provides additional information, the field with the attribute value is marked and the user has to focus or select it in order to see the associated message. The message does not have to be dismissed and does not cancel any ongoing operation. It disappears, however, if the focus or selection is moved away from the field.
