Specify whether a warning, a severe warning, or no warning should be given to end users who deselect the active feature (the feature selected in the Setup Design or Features view). To issue a warning, write script code that retrieves the value of this property and displays a message accordingly; retrieve the value of this property by calling FeatureGetData with the third parameter set to FEATURE_FIELD_FILENEED.

Critical: Use this setting for features that your setup does not allow end users to deselect.

Recommended: Advise end users that the feature should be installed.

Standard: End users may deselect the feature; no messages are issued.
