SMO Editor deleted some of my code

[wireddown]

The JKI SMO Editor removes the Typedefs from my SMO when I add a public method.

1. Create a blank Project
2. Use the SMO Editor to add a BasicByRefWithEvents SMO
3. Confirm you can run the TestLauncher VI ✅
4. Use the SMO Editor to add a public method
5. Observe an error dialog appears ❌
6. Observe the Typedefs folder is now empty ❌

Usually, when a tool's operations on user data can fail, they can be rolled back by the tool. It would be helpful if these workflows were made transactional: apply-or-noop.
