Don't delete view due to config dependencies being deleted

Created on 23 April 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Spin off from 🐛 Uninstalling a module deletes all views that have third-party settings by that module Active from @berdir

change views to _never_ delete due to config dependencies but just disable the view. There are lots of similar issues open where views get deleted due to a role or node type dependency in a condition that will not be fixed by this, this specifically only fixes third party settings.

I can confirm this on a module like better exposed filters

Steps to reproduce

Create a view
Create some config dependency on it
Delete the config
Notice the view is deleted too

Proposed resolution

Don't delete the view

Remaining tasks

TBD

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes
