Dear EpiServer Team,

I would like to forbid to create pages with word "TEST". I've implemented InitializationModule1 with:

        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentEvents>().CreatingContent += new EventHandler<ContentEventArgs>(ForbidTestWord);
        }

        void ForbidTestWord(object sender, ContentEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Content.Name.ToUpper().Contains("TEST"))
            {
                e.CancelAction = true;
                e.CancelReason = "No chance, pick a better name";
            }
        }

And when I try to create page with word "test", I see the screen with no ability to create page,

and I do'nt see the CancelReason text "No chance, pick a better name".

What should I do to show to the editor the cancel reason on UI in edit mode?

It seems, that for new content it's impossible to use e.CancelAction = true;

I looked at browser console and there is an errors:

Thanks for the bug report. I have added the following bug to handle this:

Bug #105525: The UI does not handle the case that the creation was cancelled in an event handler

Have the bug been fixed? EpiServer 9. When we set the CancelAction as true we get exceptions in browser console instead of messages.

Maybe you could use a custom validation attribute to solve this until the bug is fixed

In the upcoming EPiServer.CMS.Core 9.11 you can implement a validator that only runs when content is being saved: IContentSaveValidation, this interface extends IValidate but also adds contextual information such as which save action that was used.
