The "Robot System" Parameter on "from Plane" and "get Plane" should be a required input and warn if nothing is connected #248

Thanks for the suggestion. A warning makes sense for the GetPlane component. The primary use of FromPlane is really with the robotsystem input disconnected, to get the convention used in the xml files to edit them. So it might be a bit weird to get a warning in the most common case. Another less error prone option might be to make the robotsystem input a variable input that you can add/remove (like in the create target component), and if added but disconnected it doesn't return any value until you connect a robot. |

How about adding a "remark"? You get a balloon icon but doesn't turn the component orange: |

The From Plane and Get Plane components do different conversions depending on the robot system specified.
If no Robot System is connected, the conversion is done to Quaternions.
No error or warning is shown when no robot system is connected.
This makes it possible to disconnect the Robot system component during refactoring or on accident and never noticing, that the conversion that is being done is completely different now.
This is error-prone and difficult to trouble-shoot.
A Warning if no Robot system is connected would be great.
