Pull request overview

Updates the View Range toggle tool to detect when a selected plan view’s view range is controlled by an assigned View Template, and to warn the user before proceeding—addressing issue #3110 where the tool could unintentionally override template-driven settings.

Changes:

• Detects when PLAN_VIEW_RANGE is controlled by the view’s template and stores the controlling template reference.
• Adds a confirmation dialog before applying view range changes when the view range is template-driven.
• Updates the UI message to indicate when the view range is driven by a template (plus some formatting/line-wrapping refactors).

@thumDer was the intention to update the view template view range as well or just provide the warning? I get the warning "about to change View Template" but the view template itself doesn't update. I also don't see anything in the code that is attempting to change the view template.

@porrt23 it was explained here: #3155 (comment)
In the version where I was testing it it changed the template as well, and if you read the original issue it also said that it changes the template even though it was not implemented.
In which version did you test it so it didn't change the template? I'll have a look at it once again, but it seems I might need to expicitly update the template after all.
