If we can only show the warning icon in case there is an error, it makes
sense to me.

It would be really good, if the text in not generic, but offers some
help to decide what to do. Instead of "Do you really want…" we could
have "The Variable [name] for [varslot] has the type [type] but the
function only takes [right type]. The calculation might not give a
result." I don’t know how hard it is to create, but we should at least
have all the information we need.

Seems like a good idea. Though we should try to save the user the click
on "o.k.". (There might still be cases in which – e.g. desperate
students – just try try try… :-) ) Could we show this like a system
notification that sort of pulls down or the like?
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_notification)
Again, a text quoting variable name and type and target type would help
the user greatly to know what goes on here.


Kind Regards,
