Option for overwriting files without confirmation when Configuring Dependency Based Build option.

Currently, if you are starting a user build from the Configure Dependency Based Build option, you have to go through several pop ups to authorize overwriting existing files.
Please add an option  in global preferences or in the user build configuration wizard that would allow me to skip this confirmation step and just overwrite the files. This would work more like how starting a user build from the User Build option.

This would be extremely useful to DBB implementers

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an Idea to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently in line with our product strategy and we added it as a candidate for future releases of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
