Now I understand the issue. What change could we make?
We could change the error message to say "Prompt is read-only".
Would that make it clearer, do you think?
Thanks, but as I tried to explain I do not think it is the best to do
so. My suggestion is two make two changes:
1) Change the default for Inviolable to on.
2) Do not show the message "Prompt is read-only" when Inviolable is on.
It is just disturbing and unexpected in my opinion. It is simply the
usual behavior for most applications that you are not able to delete the
prompt.
