Feature Request Are you sure Button when disabling interface

Feature Request Are you sure Button when disabling interface
We have a practice of labeling all interfaces with comments we have had some techs accidentally hit the disable interface button which is fine sometimes but if it is a backhaul port you are in a lot of trouble because this kills even mac telnet. can you put a confirm function in for this

Then where would you stop? a confirm button for removing an IP Address? Changing a Firewall Rule? Changing a route? depending on the deployment any change could completely isolate the router. This is just your scenario.

Why not just train your techs to use the already existing Safe Mode functionality?

slightly different suggestion:
why not train tech to use CLI instead of winbox? You can't missclick in CLI.

(cmon, lets be honest... how can they misclick? Are they that bad or are they under so much pressure to do things quickly?)

anyway is it possible to have safe mode enable by default? some of our tech had always forget to enable it before work on it.

I like this idea - perhaps could be set in the User Setup.
This way those techs "don't forget"... but Admin can select it if need be.
