Description Eyal Rozenberg 2022-11-18 17:07:42 UTC 
This is a followup, or perhaps a compromise, regarding the now-closed bug 152030.

When choosing to insert a generated table/index (GTI for short), the user gets a dialog with various options. One of these is a checkbox labeled: "Protected against manual changes". Now, personally, I believe this checkbox should mean just what it says - protection against changes within the GTI, _not_ against removal/deletion altogether. Unfortunately, it has been decided that this should also protect against deletion.

That being the case, I suggest that:

1. The checkbox be split in two: One for changes within the GTI, another for outright deletion.
2. The protection against deletion checkbox be unchecked by default.

We discussed the topic in the design meeting and agreed to not introduce an option but reopen the previous bug 152030.
