We already have a confirmation dialog on a number of buttons, but our customer is looking for a bit more.

They want the confirmation dialog to require the operator to put their password in to make sure it is both actually the operator, and to make sure that the operator is 100% sure they want to perform the action.

Can we get an option to have the confirmation dialog require a the password entry?

It is possible to use a regular button and the system.gui.passwordBox function where the user can enter in their password before it writes to the tag.

Combine that with system.security.validateUser() and you can create a dialog box where the supervisor has to authorize the operators actions.
