On 16th of January 2024, Alexander Korotkov committed patch:
Add new COPY option SAVE_ERROR_TO Currently, when source data contains unexpected data regarding data type or range, the entire COPY fails. However, in some cases, such data can be ignored and just copying normal data is preferable. This commit adds a new option SAVE_ERROR_TO, which specifies where to save the error information. When this option is specified, COPY skips soft errors and continues copying. Currently, SAVE_ERROR_TO only supports "none". This indicates error information is not saved and COPY just skips the unexpected data and continues running. Later works are expected to add more choices, such as 'log' and 'table'.

and then, three days later, he changed the syntax in next patch:
Rename COPY option from SAVE_ERROR_TO to ON_ERROR The option names now are "stop" (default) and "ignore". The future options could be "file 'filename.log'" and "table 'tablename'".
