Protection way for prevent an existing BU from numeric to consolidation level

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Is there a way to set up safeguards to prevent an admin from accidentally adding a new business unit (e.g., 211A) under an existing numeric business unit (e.g., 211) in the business unit dimension? Currently, if the new business unit (211A) is dragged and moved under the numeric business unit (211), the system automatically converts 211 into a consolidated level. This results in all previously saved data under 211 being wiped out, even though the data wasn't explicitly deleted.

The issue is compounded by the fact that no warning message is displayed during this operation in the on-premise system, making this process highly risky and potentially requiring a severe backup restore to recover the data. Is there a more robust solution in the cloud environment to prevent this kind of accidental data loss in the future?

    This idea is not under consideration. The admin can use the existing reserve and commit\release feature in the Planning Analytics Workspace hierarchy editor if they want to stage changes to the dimension before exposing those changes to all other users.
