Display a message box when the user tries to assign a limit trait twice

Currently, if a user assigns to an attribute A a limit trait that is already used by another attribute B under the same parent attribute, then attribute A will gain the limit trait and attribute B will silently lose the limit trait. Silent changes that affect how the PI Asset Framework works are never a good thing. Consider displaying a message box in PI System Explorer if the user tries to assign a previously assigned limit trait. For example, "The Target limit trait is already assigned to attribute B. Do you want to remove the Target limit trait from attribute B and assign it to attribute A?". PI Builder should refuse, with an error message, to publish changes that involve duplicate limit trait assignment.

    This behavior is intentional. Making such restrictions makes it very difficult for users to make changes. For example, to change the attribute used for a limit, they would first have to run builder to remove the trait, then rerun to add the trait back.
