Right now the error message reads as ‘Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key‘.
Instead of this can I rename the error message to read as ‘Billing Rule is missing’
Is this possible through point and click or through customization or all error messages are standard and cannot be changed ?
When I change the project task status as ‘active’ and give the billing rule , i do not get the error.

I believe these are generic validation messages generated by the Acumatica framework to indicate that an operation failed due to missing or invalid data.
If you need to display a specific validation message (e.g., “Billing Rule should not be empty”), you’ll need to implement a custom validation in the corresponding RowPersisting or FieldVerifying event. This customization should check the Billing Rule field value and throw a targeted exception (e.g., PXSetPropertyException) with the desired message when the condition is not met.
Hope, it helps!
Review the below post and linked blog, but I believe the previous response is correct and that this approach does not work for the generic validation messages, only screen specific ones:
Is there a way to edit/change existing warning messages when not on-prem?

Your suggestion is correct
On an additional note
Hi
I attempted to replicate the scenario in my local environment. I created two separate project tasks one with status “Active” and another with status “In Planning” and left the Billing Rule field blank for both. In my case, the tasks were saved successfully without any errors.
Do you have any customizations applied to the Project screen that could be triggering this validation?
+19Possibly,
I don’t know if the original project show above has no template or if it might be masked/hidden. Project Templates could be a solution.
Consider adding Billing Rules to Common Tasks and Project Templates, and using Common Tasks/Project Templates when creating new projects, so that every Project Task has a Billing Rule from the beginning. We can configure unlimited # of Project Templates to accommodate many different kinds of projects with different tasks and Billing Rules. Using Project
Good luck!
