Completed'prompts' the User Before Creating a Hierarchy When Fields are Dragged Onto Each Other

How many times have you dragged a field onto another field by mistake and have it create a hierarchy?
It happens quite often. Usually I am trying to drag the field to the Visualization pane but fail to hold the mouse button. And lo and behold it creates a hierarchy. (Which I then have to delete. But sometimes I do not even notice that I accidentally created a hierarchy).
It would be nice if a prompt came up, asking if we want to create a Hierarchy.

The default hierarchy creation behavior has been updated.

Agree

Completely agree and love the 1:2500 ratio. It's a great feature and should be kept in there, but it's so rarely needed. Plus newbies accidentally do it ALL THE TIME!

Damn this is so annoying. Please add this.
The number of times I've added a Hierarchy on purpose vs. accidentally has got to be 1:2500.

Would be even nicer to turn off creating hierarchies at all...

Agree with Avi... Creation the hierarchy accidentally often results in confusion when my colleagues continue to visualize the model I created in Desktop...

Would like a prompt.. would also like a easier way to release or "throw away"an unintended field
RE: 'prompts' the User Before Creating a Hierarchy When Fields are Dragged Onto Each Other
Yep. Probability of me doing this and meaning to is very very low

I'm with Avi on this one, although just not doing anything would be my preferred option compared to having a prompt. Maybe we have to Ctrl Select before right-clicking New Hierarchy?
