PLEASE Auto-Delete Bad Waypoint Actions

[Rex]

Changed actions on 20 units from CAP to Intercept.  Unfortunately, I'd had a previous en-route task attached, so when I tried to start the mission, I was greeted with a long list of errors.

The Enroute Task that I have associated with the groups doesn't work with Intercept, and I knew the drill ....  tedious manual delete of enroute task #1, manual delete of enroute task #2, manual delete of enroute task #3 and on and on.  But it seemed rather unnecessarily tedious.  After all, if the task doesn't work, there are two automatic actions that would seem to make way more sense.  Either:

1) Delete It

2) Ignore it (possibly while highlighting it as an ignored task)

The current forbid-save action is the word of all worlds.  After all, if I ever wanted to change it back, it would be yet another tedious editing session.  Being unable to save barring a lengthy editing session is definitely not a good thing, as it leaves us open to data loss.

Can the ME  just delete the actions if they don't work with the task type?  Or barring that, silently ignore them, perhaps while highlighting them in red as it currently does?  Sometimes the task types can be a little finicky, and it's not uncommon to have to play with them to get the desired activity out of the AI.

Thank you.
