There's a built-in method that's specifically there for these cases: you can call cls.poll_message_set("reason") from the poll() function.

Oh I didn't see that method earlier, I can't believe it was there at the same Operator documentation page and I missed it.

I implemented and that single line nailed exactly what I was trying to achieve but much better, here is a demo of how it looks now:

Better!

I think the text can be simplified a little, to make it a little bit less formal: "No job type selected".
