Provide a simplified, scaled-back version of the KLSONTSO dialog for CL/Supersession that delivers core functionality while allowing clients to build and extend it to suit their own environment.

Over time, the KLSONTSO dialog has become increasingly complex, with embedded logic and behaviors that may not be required in every installation. From a client perspective, this makes the dialog harder to understand, maintain, and tailor to our specific environment.

We would like to see a simplified, “back to basics” version of KLSONTSO that focuses on essential dialog flow and core CL/Supersession functionality, without additional layered logic that may not apply to all customers.

The goal would be to provide a clean, minimal baseline implementation with clearly documented integration points or exits. This would allow clients to add environment-specific logic, security controls, automation, and validation rules as needed, rather than working around built-in behaviors.

A streamlined KLSONTSO would improve clarity, reduce implementation complexity, and give customers greater flexibility to align the dialog with their own operational standards and policies.
