Removed misleading validation related to dimensional structures. When a user is creating or editing an Axis in an IFRS taxonomy they will no longer receive a validation error if there is more than one Member as a direct child of the Axis.
Added a new ‘Designate Default DomainAn element that represents an entire set of other elements. The domain and its members are used to classify facts along the axis of a table. For example, "Arkansas" is a domain member in the domain "States," and would be used to classify elements such as revenues and assets in Arkansas, distinct from other states. When a fact does not have any domain member specified, it applies to the entire domain.’ option to the right-click functionality tied to Member elements in IFRS Taxonomies.
Added validation to ensure that a Dimension has a Default Domain and that the same Axes used throughout different Presentations in the taxonomy use the same Default Domain.
