Mandatory dimensions in quick layout

Etienne CAUSSE

Context - When designing data entry screens, we are often in the situation where we want to give a maximum flexibility to the end user to choose the most relevant axis. Quick layout is great for that.

Issue - However we often have the situation where at least one dimension is mandatory, otherwise figures don't make sense. Typically, when entering data in a cube in reporting currency, we need to keep at least the currency in the dimensions.

Idea : allow some entities to be set as "mandatory" in quick layout so the user can add / change other dimensions, but cannot remove the entities specified as "mandatory".
