Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Attempting to disable Cassiopeia produces the following: "Disabling the parent template is not permitted." I have another template installed and assigned as the default.

Describe the solution you'd like

I prefer to disable it so the Cassiopeia module position do not display in the list of positions.

Additional context

I presume there was a reason for preventing it from being disabled. If so, is there another way to remove its positions from the module position drop down list. Or could it disabling be allowed?

I have another template installed and assigned as the default.

Do that template is child of cassiopea by any chance?

Good questions, but no, it's not a child of Cassiopea.

So it would appear that the problem is you cannot disable a parent template if there is a child template - even if that child template is disabled

Cassiopeia extended is disabled. No child templates. I did try disabling Cassiopeia - Default while the extended was enabled but it still says, "Disabling the parent template is not permitted."

Yes, so I hope Cassiopeia could be disabled in a future release.
