Display warning message when deleting a line item which is being referred as a filter.

Hi All,

In Case if we are using any line item as a filter and if we are deleting it a warning message should pop up similar to when we delete line items which are being referred in a module.

It helps maintain the saved views as most of them will be created based on specific filter or condition.

I agree.. filter dependency is loosely coupled in Anaplan. It should be fixed!!

I would prefer some blocking mecanism instead of a simple message warning. They tend to be disregarded after getting used to (the same as message warning you before you change a modulr dimensions : i dont see them anymore and just reflex click them "agree" without thinking).

I am quite sure there are already a bunch of ideas revolving around the same topic (secure line item used in filters / saved views from uncontrolled deletion) in the list of features requests --> could you please upvote them as well ?

hey @david.savarin , thanks for sharing the above!

the objective is not just a simple dialogue box but at the same time I don't want to design the solution since it is Anaplan's final call on design and develop. Happy to upvote the similar one as long as the purpose of both are same.. Can you please spread the same msg in your community too to support this?

@CommunityMember126793 sure

While these may not be exactly what you propose you can have a look at the following ideas and upvote if relevant ? They all revolve around the need to secure / prevent line items used as filters somewhere to be unintentionnally deleted from model :

How Can I Train Stable Diffusion for NSFW Image Generation?
Training Stable Diffusion for NSFW image generation is not just about fine-tuning models, but also about setting the right framework.

Allow non-WSAs to view source module name in UX.
When a user clicks the ellipsis in a grid card they should be able to see the name of the source module. This empowers end users with the ability to connect to the source data they see in the UX to the module in the backend. It also enables end users to pull the data into Google Sheets or Excel.
A function that identifies all saved views which filters are broken
I would like the function to identify all saved views which filters are broken(error).
