It doesn’t working either 😕

EDIT: OK, I’ve got it working using both your handler and the next() function.  
But what is weird is that it shouldn’t require the next() function to be used, but I could send it using the `response` variable, retrieved during the Express request.  
See: [Overriden routes error management](https://community.forestadmin.com/t/overriden-routes-error-management/4487)

Is there any way not to use the next() function but this `response.status(400).send('error message');` ?  
Because it seems working for @JeremyV

Using the errorHandler middleware prevents me from sending success custom message.
