Protect the form definition yaml from being overwritten

Question

I'm working on a legacy page with TYPO3 9.5

I made a form and heavily edited the form'S YAML file. I especially added YAML aliases. When I now edit the form in the TYPO3 BE form editor and save it, the anchors and aliases are lost.

Is there a way that I can protect parts or the whole of my YAML definition to be not touched by the TYPO3 BE form editor on save?

This should be possible - check the documentation about that at https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-form/main/en-us/I/Concepts/FormFileStorages/Index.html

As this change has been implemented with 8.7 (see here) it will also work on 9.5

TYPO3:
     CMS:
       Form:
         persistenceManager:
           allowSaveToExtensionPaths: false
           allowedExtensionPaths:
             100: EXT:my_ext/Resources/Private/Forms/
