Description

When using the full-parameter-tree screen, if a user enters an out-of-range value for a parameter, a message that says something like, "value out of range, are you sure?" appears and the user must press "OK". The unintuitive part though is that after pushing "OK" the user must actually go and push the Write button again.

Most users would expect, that if they press "OK" the parameter would then be saved.

An example of someone running into this is Esa on this thread. The comment includes a video.

Research direction

Start in the FullParameterTree screen and reproduce the out-of-range parameter flow described in the issue, including the OK confirmation and subsequent Write action. Trace where the confirmation is handled and verify that accepting it saves the parameter without requiring a second press of Write.
