Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Concurrent usage of the Data Dictionary is impossible because the users are not informed when someone else is working on a specific Data Dictionary.
Ideally, it should say, "Hey, you can only view it because John Doe is working on it".
Use-case: Editing of the Data Dictionary for Forms and Letters (Correspondence Management / Interactive communication
Current/Experienced Behavior: Every user can edit the Data Dictionary; the last edit prevails
Improved/Expected Behavior: Once a user edits the Data Dictionary, the Data Dictionary is locked until the editing user has saved the changes. 
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEM 6.5.18.0
Customer-name/Organization name: Deutsche Bank
