If some of the business validation fails for the request I return either a 403 or a 409. However, when setting a 4xx or 5xx status the output is not returned to the client.
Is there a way for me to communicate the reason for the failure (ie "Concurrent request not allowed", "Invalid User", "Not authorized for this action", "Record already approved") back to the client while still using those status codes?
My fallback plan is to return 200 Ok with output parameters with a generic status field ("success"/"fail"/"error") and message field that would indicate the reason for failure or error.
