Program settings error page about civiform HOT 1 OPEN

I want to provide some more context around this. The 'program settings' link (see image 1 below) once upon a time took you to a standalone page with just the one setting. At some point it was merged with the main program details edit page (see image 2 below).

Definitely a poor experience getting that message. The problem is that we don't have an equivalent readonly page for the the program details settings. it's quite annoying when I end up having to create a draft in prod just to see the settings.

Clicking that link in readonly mode should not create a draft, we have explicit buttons for that. Ideally what should happen is one of the following:

• Just don't show the link in readonly mode at all and call it donezo. Downside is it lowers the visibility of the feature, but is the most expedient solution to prevent the error from being accessed.
• Show no link, but instead a short bit of text telling what the current setting is. A little more work for a questionably useful outcome.
• Keep the link, but have it point to a readonly version of the program edit page. More work, but would benefit the entire readonly experience.

Personally I don't think anyone actually reads that blob of text. It's too text dense and people are focused on the questions. There's probably better ways to explain and surface the feature.

1) This is the readonly view page for an active program

2) This is the program details edit page
