About the new feature "Add constraints" in the teacher constraints dialog

[Liviu Lalescu]

Dear users,

As I hope you know, in recent FET versions we added the possibility to add with a single click a constraint for each teacher. I have a question for you regarding a message here:

There is a combo box "Teacher", which is useless if the user presses "Add constraints".

The confirmation dialog here includes a message: "Warning: This operation will add multiple constraints, one for each teacher. Are you sure?"

Should we add something like: "(regardless of the teacher selected in the teachers combo box)"? Or other phrasing?

I hope more users will participate to this topic. Also, I have to admit I am a bit disappointed about the lack of feed-back of the new features included in the last versions, FET-6.10.0 to FET-6.11.1.

The real problem is to choose between a longer confirmation dialog, which might be annoying for some users, and a shorter one, which might be not the clearest option for some other users. Generally speaking, I think that shorter and clear messages are the best option. For our case, I think that a little longer message will not be a real problem. Personally, I would prefer the following message:
Warning: This operation will add multiple constraints, one for each teacher, regardless of the teacher selected in the teachers combo box. Are you sure?

Thank you, Vangelis! I did this (before you wrote):

"This operation will add multiple constraints, one for each teacher, regardless of the one selected in the combo box. Do you want to continue?"

Please let me know what you think.
