Show cascade confirmations

Shows a confirmation listing the affected items before a cascade operation such as a delete or a rename. Turn this off to skip the confirmations and back on to restore them.

The confirmation lists the affected entities and files with a count of each. Every cascade confirmation for deletes and renames carries the checkbox Do not show cascade confirmations for deletes and renames again. Turn them back on in the Settings editor. Confirming the dialog with this checkbox ticked sets the value to N. The setting is on by default and appears in the Confirmations section of the Application group of the Settings editor in every database, where it can be turned off or back on.

BimlFlex reads the value each time a delete or rename asks for a cascade confirmation. Only the values N, No, False and 0, in any letter case and with surrounding whitespace ignored, turn the confirmations off. Any other value keeps them on.

With the confirmations off, the delete or rename proceeds without the cascade confirmation. Where a screen asks for its own plain confirmation for the operation, that confirmation still appears. This setting does not affect plain confirmations, and they carry no do-not-show checkbox.

When to Change This Setting

Set it to Y in the Confirmations section of the Application group of the Settings editor to restore the cascade confirmations once they are off. The changed value takes effect on the next cascade operation.

Notes
