Warning in followup action causes a messagebox to pop up when saving plan editor

Hi,

We have developed a simple followup action on save work item operation. It basically shows warning when the attribute 'acceptance test' (in stories) is empty.

We used following code to create a warning message:

IReportInfo problem = collector.createInfo(SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION);
problem.setSeverity(IProcessReport.WARNING);
collector.addInfo(problem);

It works (as we expected) when we save a work item (the warning is visible in both Work Item and Team Advisor view), but when we save a plan, the messagebox pops out with message:

Problems occurred while saving plan:
Reason: 
No description

I can see here, that setSeverity() method shouldn't be used by developer (shouldn't be even exposed by API) .

So is there a way to get such functionality (show warnings after saving work item) without the side effect?

Is there a way to avoid this messageboxes to pop out?

Your code examples seems to be similar to

That's right.

I am setting different severity, but the problem exist for IProcessReport.ERROR severity too.

Also follow-up is hooked under other operation than in workshop.

It's all about the answers!
