"Formula error in input field..." error message doesn't state what the error is

I'd like to offer some feedback on Formula validation. When I get the error "Formula error in input field Message " it's very annoying that it doesn't tell me what the problem is. Even if the error messages won't be understandable to some users, it would be good to have a "more details" or "advanced details" link that I can click to give me the technical error message, so we can get the developers in our team to help out with it (in this case, I am the developer, so have a good chance of understanding the message).


For example, it didn't give me any help when I tried to use a formula that contains:

 

1.month.ago.year

 

In the end I figured out that I had to use strftime("%Y") instead of .year but the error message gave me no guidance on that.
