When protecting Switch field with links, only current selected link is protected andthe whole field gets the property 'disablemastercontentchanges' used for breaking livecopies, and the property linktypepage (if we selected a page) is protected but the switch field is not, so master could select a external link and overwrite this field anyway (this does not happen because of the break live copy property). then the icon protect/unprotect is useless for the link itself, there is no way to unprotect the link without going through JCR.

I think it should not use the break live copy property, and if you protect the switch field or any of the links inside you should protect/unprotect everything i.e. [linktype,linktypepage,linktypeexternal] not just current behaviour [linktypepage]

• When a component with a complex attribute (e.g.  composite/switchable/multi) has been protected, Push from master has no effect on such attributes.
• When a component with a complex attribute (e.g.  composite/switchable/multi) has been unprotected, Push from master has effect again on such attributes.
