Notes and Warnings

Error Handling Types:
- DEFAULT: Backend error responses are passed through to the client without modification
- ADVANCED: All backend errors are intercepted and custom error messages are applied
- STATUS_CODE_LIST: Only the specified HTTP status codes trigger custom error handling
Custom Messages: When customizeErrorMessageEnabled=true, matching errors use the customized message and status code
Error Message Matching: Error messages are matched by httpStatusCode — if a backend returns a status code in the list, the corresponding custom message is used
Partial Updates: You can update individual fields without affecting others
Deploy: When deploy=true, the API proxy is automatically deployed to the specified environments after saving
