**Description:**  
When there are issues with a shared component, the new UI gives a generic error pop-up that does not help me a lot in finding the issue. Especially with very large workflows contains with, in our case, up to 400 shared components.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Open a workflow with shared components and metanodes

**Actual results:**  
Too generic statement

**Expected results:**  
More details about the errors, which component it actually affects, etc.

**Attachments:**

**OS:**  
Windows 10 (build 19045)
