(Can't see the original post, so I'm replying through Dmitry's article.)

No Helen, it's not so simple . I once explained Jason Wharton why this
message cannot be enhanced [easily] to say which is the field that failed.
Basically, at the [low] level it's detected and handled, there's no info
about field names. At most, you find descriptors.

(Or I would have done something about it already.)
