Issue
In RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, when defining a form element to be of control type Drop Down Select with Web Service and an invalid URI from which to get options is specified, the exception or error message is displayed as a value of the form field rather than an error message. This allows the user to proceed with creating a change request when they should be prevented due to the validation error. In the user interface, go to Requests > Configuration > Request Forms tab > {form name} > Fields.

The example below illustrates this issue. 
 
Form defined with a field of type Drop Down Select with Web Service.

Run the form and note the error is displayed as a value rather than an error message.
 
java.net.MalformedURLException:no protocol:localhost/aveksa/123.jsp

The consequence of this incorrect behavior is that it allows the user to ignore the validation error and continue with creating the change request.
