TLDR

Confirmation window before exiting the parametrise menu without saving

When does this occur?

When doing a lot with the parametrise menu I often get distracted and either click outside of that window by accident, or I click the blueprint's green checkmark forgetting that it's not the one from the parametrise menu and all of the parameter settings get cleared.

What to change?

My suggestion would be to add a confirmation window (like the one we already have for blueprints when things change) to pop up so you can either exit the parametrise menu if the click was intended or go back and save the settings if there was a missclick.

What would it achieve

It would definitely save a lot of time when forgetting that you can't click outisde of that window and also make the experience of the parametrise menu smoother. It's nice to have a reminder of "whoops you should probably save".

This is the confirmation window I'm talking about:

There have been so many times when I reached for the green button on the main blueprint page instead of the green button on the parameterization page.

+1 would save me so much time after setting up lots of things in it and then accidentality clicked the wrong spot and poof all gone

YES! Exactly this is my main issue, so focused on setting up parameters that I don't think which checkmark is right just click the one I see first
