Yes! This is a great addition by Microsoft.

I've seen some people state some valid concerns about whether the more informative error message could inadvertently leak info. That's certainly something to check for from a security perspective. But that's the case with any system that reports errors.

At least now it is up to the organizations to enable or disable the more detailed string truncation error depending on their needs. Before the error was a little maddening with no simple way to find out the offending column or data.
