Confirmation Popup When Field Updates Reset or Clear Dependent Fields

In Targetprocess, certain field updates can automatically reset or clear dependent fields in related entities (for example, when a parent field change invalidates child field values). Currently, these resets happen silently, and users are not notified. This often results in incomplete records, data loss, or sync errors with integrated systems.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a confirmation popup whenever a field update will clear or reset dependent fields. The popup should:

Warn the user of the impact before the change is saved.

Allow administrators to configure target field and the warning message for clarity.

Require the user to confirm the update before proceeding.

Business Value:

Improves user awareness of system-driven data resets.

Reduces risk of incomplete or invalid data.

Enhances data integrity across Targetprocess and integrated applications.

Saves time by preventing unnoticed errors that require manual correction.
