How to addValidationTasks to all places where you can edit data

Question

There is a nice write-up for using addValidateTasks https://support.sugarcrm.com/documentation/sugar_developer/sugar_developer_guide_14.0/cookbook/adding_field_validation_to_the_record_view/ . 
 
 However, as Sugar evolves there are more and more places where data can be edited. 
 
 create 
 record 
 list 
 preview 
 record view dashlets 
 sub-panels list view 
 tileview 
 etc 
 
 If we want to enforce data validation how do we create validation that can span all available views?

Hi Jeff Bickart , 
 Unfortunately we don't have any official documentation to this "hidden feature" of Sugar. 
 It is supposed to be as simple as throwing an exception in your logic hook before_save. 
 Make sure it is not " Throwable " which will be catched and logged in sugarcrm.log instead.

 Also, I apologies, we have backported to 13.1/2/3 and it is also available on 14.0 the fix for propagating the exception to the UI. 
 You can take a look at include/utils/LogicHook.php on method public function process_hooks($hookArray, $event, $arguments). ...
