Why are additional View rules created for sections when we modify them in a branch
When we create a branch and try to modify an existing section in that, an additional view rule with the same name gets created automatically in the branch. Questions now,
1. What is the purpose of this action ?
2. What can be done to avoid this ? Any extension point or some DSS ?
3. Will there be any impact to the branch or the application if we try to stop this action ?
Many thanks

@JayachandraSiddipeta From the documentation and other forum content we can state the following:
- The purpose of this action is to allow developers to work on isolated rulesets without impacting the development of other features, avoiding overwriting results and generating errors.
- To avoid this, you can work directly on the original rule in the base ruleset, but this may lead to conflicts and errors when multiple developers work on the same rule simultaneously.
- Stopping this action may increase the risk of conflicts and errors during development, as multiple developers may work on the same rule simultaneously, impacting the branch and the application

Not clear about the answer...
Can you please explain why are view rules created in branches when the section is being modified in a branch using Dev Studio? Anyway this can be prevented (as it can 'pollute' the branch)?
Further to this, created view rules might be created in someone else's branch and in 'wrong' ruleset, and hence will need to be deleted anyway...
