    • We collect Bitbucket feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      While invoking the Create a new hook script API, if any of the required fields are missed, we get the below exception in the atlassian-bitbucket.log on the server:

      Instead, can we have a meaningful message returned like we get if we use a HTTP Access token instead of a sys admin password:
