Be explicit with what is being deleted

What is the challenge?

When you select a table/field for deletion, the prompt asked are you sure but there is no indication that you definitely chose the right thing - no highlight, etc.

What is the impact?

Having to double check by cancelling and re-doing

Describe your idea

Change deletion prompt to explicitly call out the name of the object being deleted.

    Sure - if I go and delete a Custom Field, I click the ... and select to Delete. I get a pop-up that asks me if I am sure but the original custom field is not highlighted and there is no indication that is what I am about to delete. It's just dicey if a person is rushing. I'd expect the pop-up to explicitly ask if you want to delete that Custom Table name.

    Thanks for reaching out about this. Can you please share more about what you mean selecting a table or field? Is this happening in the text editor or somewhere else?
