Description

When saving an Analytic object in Workbench today, it just updates that one object. However, it should check the x_mitre_domains field in all Data Component objects that are connected to the Log Sources in the Analytic object to see if the domains match. If they don't it should prompt the user that saving the Analytic will update the Data Components as well.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the Analytic save flow and how connected Log Sources and Data Components are loaded, then determine where domain mismatches and user confirmation belong. Done means saving detects mismatches, prompts before updating related Data Components, and leaves them unchanged if the update is declined.
