Need an Intelligent error message whenever there is a problem while updating the Custom FormsNew

we are always getting "There is A Slight Problem" dialog box without any error mesage inside it whenever we are updating the Custom Forms. I have encountered this error most of the times when I was using the "recalculate" tickbox on a calculated field and my assumption is that what we are seeing here might indeed either be an access conflict (e.g. someone else doing stuff in the task / project and saving) or that the operation simply times out, especially when the recalculation affects a large data set. I encounter this error not as often in my early morning hours, when EMEA and NASA are not active. So - and this is important - I can almost reproduce this a 100% when recalculating calculated fields when EMEA is awake and working and the frequency is much lower in my 6am - 9am hours when APAC is almost out and EMEA has not woken up yet. So it appears like an access conflict or a timeout on the recalculation over large data sets are the most likely causes. But in order to sort that out, we need the error message to be more detailed. If it is a resource conflict, I would say that the recalculation should simply wait for the resource lock to lift and then update the task. If it is indeed a timeout then I would say that the recalculations should just run in batch and be non-blocking for the UI so that the updates happen in the background. "We need better logs and Intelligent error messages to really nail it down"

Single-page Applications & Data Elements with 'Page View' durationNew

Description -More and more website are being built using Single-Page Application (SPA) architecture. With a SPA website, when a user moves between screens it does not cause a full refresh of the page.  This causes Data Elements that have a Storage Duration set to "page view" to live beyond what the user experiences as a page view as these data elements require a full refresh from them to be cleared. Why is this important -Within SPAs, data elements set to "page view" duration can actually live for the whole session, meaning there is little difference between between the "page view" and "session" duration. This has the potential to cause odd results/confusion (e.g. it may not behave like someone selecting "page view" might expect). How would you like the feature to work -The simplest solution may be for Adobe to display a notification/warning about SPAs near the storage duration field when someone selects "page view".  The notification could directing people to use the "None" option for SPAs. Or if "page view" duration is considered useful, maybe Adobe could introduce support for SPAs - a potential solution would be for the 'core' extension to include a rule 'action type' that allowed you to trigger the clearing of data elements that had their duration set to 'page view' i.e. a way to notify Adobe Launch Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection Tags that a page view had occurred within the SPA.
