Implement information dialog that can be triggered from automation scripts

One of the latest 7.6 releases included the ability to display a message in a dialog box.

This is implemented using the service.error() method.


Some of our customers are using the service.error() method to display information messages when a process is complete.

This is useful for the customers but it means that information messages are written to the logs as errors. Logging these as errors isn't ideal and we want to move the developers to a system where no errors are logged.


If this is implemented then the messages can be displayed in an easy way without logging errors.


The YNCancel dialog isn't usable because it gives the users too many options. We would like to allow them to have a dialog with just a button to close the message


We know that there is a message function that flashes up a message but that can disappear before the user reads it.
