What I'd like is a general error message above the form, such as "There has been an error with your submission."   In addition, a specific error message on the field that has the error, that varies according to the field.

Here's what I tried:

I entered the generic Failure message.   Then for each field, I entered the message that is appropriate for that field.   For example, required fields need the message "Please fill out required fields" and email fields need "Please use a valid email address"

If I uncheck Show Message: Above Form
then the generic message doesn't appear at all.

If I check Show Message: Above Form
then I get the generic message AND the
specific message above the form, and the
specific message in the form as well.
 
If you get rid of the individual error messages, then you
have the generic message above the form, but it is one
message for all errors.  I hate forms that tell you there is an error but give you no clue what the error is.

Is there a solution?
