Research direction

Start by locating the logic that selects the default HLIL view and inspect how it behaves when no IL is available. Done means workflows without implemented ILs no longer default to unusable IL views.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Low Impact: Low UI: Linear

If no IL is present the IL views are useless. We should better support workflows which don't have ILs implemented.
