Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Currently when creating a new account, there’s no warning that it can’t be changed later:

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Add a small warning below the checkbox saying that it can’t be changed later and linking to a section (which would also need to be written) on the Accounts → Overview docs page.

Here’s the code that creates the checkbox:

I would avoid using red (which we use to indicate errors) for this. Maybe gray? And also maybe drop the parentheses? Otherwise it looks great!

Oh wow that was quick, I did remove the parenthesis and great shout on the color, I thought I did read it in the issue description (but I have imagined it instead 🤦🏻 ).

Will fix the color and put together a PR :)
