When deleting a layer connected to an Essential Graphics control, warn the user which comp(s) will be affected

When deleting a layer which is being used for an essential property, the following warning is shown. However, there’s no way to do a reverse ‘Reveal in Timeline’ command to see where a layer might be connected to a comp’s EGP.

It would be enormously helpful if this alert could list the comp(s) that would be affected by the layer deletion.

    Thanks for creating the post, ​@RobBarrett. Listing the affected parent comps right in the alert would be a useful safety net. Upvoted.

     

    Thanks,
