Would a EGDB constraint attribute rule error message be passed to the Portal ExB Editor widget?

Scenario:

Portal Experience Builder app; Editor widget.
Oracle 18c; 11.3 Enterprise Geodatabase feature class (Pro 3.4.3).
Constraint attribute rule on a text field in the feature class.

Questions:

If I entered an invalid value (according to the attribute rule) in the Editor widget form, would the attribute rule send an error message to the Experience Builder form?
What would the error message look like in the form? Is it a generic ExB error message, an attribute-rule-generated message, or a user-defined error message?
When would the error be thrown? When the value is entered into the field, or when the feature is saved?

Yes, Editor widget form will give you an error message.

What would the error message look like in the form? Is it a generic ExB error message, an attribute-rule-generated message, or a user-defined error message?

Regardless of the error number/description you provide in ArcGIS Pro, the Editor widget form will only give you a generic error. See screenshot below.

When would the error be thrown? When the value is entered into the field, or when the feature is saved?

The error will be thrown when you click the "Update" button in the ExB form.

It would be great if Esri would display the attribute constraint error you define in ArcGIS Pro in the map viewer (including ExB, etc.). I actually created an ArcGIS Idea about this last year. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/portal-map-viewer-should-display-attribute/idi-p/1629217
