Lost work after PPP connection failure

When adding a spouse to a person with a child that is PPP you will get (as normal) the check option to add the child as a connection too.

The problem is that you can't connect to the child but it will not say so. So after you then add text, sources and everything you click the button to add the spouse. But because you've checked the box for the child you wil go to a page were it says that it's not possible.

After that it is not possible to go back to the previous page and uncheck the box. All the typed work is lost and you have to do it all over again and absolutely make sure to not check the box.

I think there are two solutions to this problem:

* add a warning when checking the box (or not having the box there at all if you are not PPP authorized)
* when you get the 'is not possible' page have the sources text available to try again or make an option so you can go back and uncheck the box

Have you tried using the back arrow function of your browser?
Of course, but it will go back to the "Add spouse of ..." page where you can choose to create a new profile or connect an existing profile so you have to start all over.
Sorry, I meant going back to the page where all the data you added was still there.  But I'm now realizing that this page must be *after* the one where you selected add to child as well.

An alternative fix would simply be that the system recognize the child is PPP, and add the spouse, but not to the child and include a notification like "Spouse added, but not child due to project protection status."
