Option to Cascade Delete without Prompting.

Feature Request: Default Cascade Delete Option for BOE Resources and Calculations

Summary:
Introduce a system-level configuration option that allows administrators to enable automatic cascade deletion of resources and calculations from a BOE without displaying the confirmation prompt to end users. This setting would streamline deletion workflows in environments where cascade delete is always the desired behavior.

Problem Statement:
Currently, when a user deletes a resource or calculation from a BOE, a popup appears asking whether to perform a cascade delete. This extra step slows down users who consistently require cascade deletion, adds unnecessary clicks, and can interrupt bulk clean-up or maintenance activities. In standardized workflows where cascade delete is always expected, the confirmation popup becomes a source of inefficiency rather than protection.

Proposed Solution:
Add a system-level configuration option (e.g., in admin or application settings) that controls the behavior of the Cascade Delete prompt for BOE resources and calculations.

  • When enabled, deletions of relevant resources/calculations from a BOE automatically cascade without displaying the confirmation popup.

  • When disabled (default), the current behavior remains: users are prompted with the Cascade Delete option via popup.

  • The setting should be clearly labeled and documented so administrators understand the implications (e.g., “Automatically apply Cascade Delete for BOE resource/calculation deletions without prompting users”).

  • If possible, scope the option to specific BOE types or environments (e.g., production vs. sandbox) to support different risk profiles.

Benefits:

  • Reduces clicks and speeds up common delete workflows in BOEs.

  • Minimizes user friction during large BOE clean-up or refactoring activities.

  • Aligns system behavior with standardized organizational policies where cascade delete is always required.

  • Lowers the risk of user confusion around the prompt and inconsistent deletion choices across a team.

  • Provides administrators with explicit control over safety vs. efficiency trade-offs.
