Custom message in Buildop

In custom Buildop I am checking for a condition.

Is there a way to write a custom message(string) depending on a validation?

Message should go to the director log.

Thank you for your feedback.

the script might be done for old DSX versions, not sure if something changed in new ones or the version of DS may effect it.(8.0 was buggy without patches)

Is it a bug?
