I have created a new branch. Consequently, I inherited 14,060 validation messages from the original branch. Among this vast number, any new validation messages introduced by me are obviously not noticeable. This compromises the quality of the product I am developing.
I believe the original branch should be "clean," but in practice, this often proves difficult to achieve. Until that ideal is met, I think it is a good practice to hide all existing validation messages for the branch immediately after creating it so that I can start with a "clean slate."
This can be done from SF, but it is a laborious task because:
- Some validation messages produce an error when trying to hide them, which interrupts the task.
- Not all validation messages are displayed, as a summary item appears for more than 25 of the same type, requiring manual expansion of each.
- It involves handling a large number of validation messages.
There should be a way to hide all validation messages for the branch at once.
