Erase Has Hads

We have discovered that it's very easy to accidentally erase all has hads instead of specific authors, subjects, etc.  As a test for my account, I entered a heading type of author and left the author field blank (pretending I was going too fast or needing to multitask).  When I clicked OK there's no error message or "Are You Sure?" type pop-up window - it just proceeded with a message "Erased 431 entries".  It would help to have something in place to slow the process so our staff can go "Oops!" and quietly cancel or add more information.

Adding a confirmation message for this function is an improvement we've discussed with KDAC that just isn't prioritized right now--but you have a good point that, after selecting the heading type, it would be helpful to have validation that requires a valid heading to be added before the function will run.

I'll take that back to development and the committee. In the meantime, anyone else who would like to bump this issue up in priority is invited to chime in!

I'd like to bump this up in priority as I, and my colleagues, have had to email KS7 many times to undo our accidental erasures at this step. I love the idea of a validation at some point in the process to be sure that the amount of entries to be erased are what is intended.

NY2A Would definitely appreciate this!

A confirmation/validation step would be welcome when erasing has hads.
