HMC V9 Partitions table view to include column for IPL Source

On our previous version of the HMC firmware V7790 the display of LPARs on a server included a column for the IPL Source. After upgrading to new HMCs running V9 firmware to manage our POWER9 servers, the Partitions display (table view) no longer include a column for the IPL source.
Being as this view used to exist, a support case was submitted asking 'why does this column no longer exist?'.
After being advised "there have been multiple changes since this version [V7790] of HMC, but you can always submit an RFE...".
Whilst I disagree that this is an enhancement (happy to be disproved), please consider this request to reinstate a column for the IPL Source in the Partitions table view display.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    Now that we have upgraded to V10R2, currently M1040, the same request applies as there is still no column to show the IPL Source on the Partitions view.

    Please consider this request for HMC V10.

    Thank you.
