We should be able to UNDO group grade replacement instead of being warned of doing it. 99% of time we want to replace like whole scene with one grade and tweak it from there. It's the 1% we do it because of a mistake.
There's good technical reasons why they can't allow an undo: if you had (say) 30 nodes per shot, there's potentially 30 different nodes that could be changed when you do a global operation. You can't change 30 nodes (even at one time) and undo it in just one Undo. If I'm not sure when I do a big change like this, I duplicate the timeline, make the change to the duplicate, and if it doesn't work, I go back to the original. But I'm very, very, very careful when I do destructive operations like this.
I think it's kind of acknowledging that inexperienced users have run into this and complained. I'm not saying they should be disregarded, I think it should be a Color Pref decision, and I wouldn't have a problem if the default would be to have the warning ON (as it is now). That way, experienced people can just turn it off once and never worry about it again.
EDIT: I just found a little bit of inconsistency - You only get warning message if You try to replace grades with timeline clip grade (middle click). If You try to apply grade from memories or gallery - no message. Also no message if you append grade.
Another inconsistency: if you do a global ripple on just one node, there's no message. And I do this a lot, assuming a Fixed Node Tree project.
