Description

Many devs have been bitten by the bug of editing a context of a property instead of adding a new context override for their setting.

E.G. dev wants to add a property override for (Dev,Prometheus,team_brown), but they go to (*, Prometheus, *) edit the context to (Dev,Prometheus,team_brown) and now there is no (*, Prometheus, *) context as default.

This has occurred enough times that i think the UI should instead have double validation check when the context of a property has changed. Or maybe at least when the context has a * in it.

Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the UI flow for editing a property's context and reproduce changing (*, Prometheus, *) to (Dev, Prometheus, team_brown); done means the UI warns or confirms before a context containing * is replaced, preserving the default context unless explicitly confirmed.
