Add confirmation message when regenerating feature flag instance id

Problem to solve

It is too easy to accidentally regenerate an instance id for the feature flags instead of copy the instance id. If it gets regenerated, then we must update this in our application and restart our app in all environments in order to use the new instance id.

Intended users

Further details

Proposal

Require the user to type the name of the project to confirm their intentions before regenerating the id.

  • The Regenerate instance id button should be disabled until a valid text entry has been entered.
