IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

The requested information was not provided and the RFE is being closed.
Feel free to resubmit this RFE with the information that was requested.
Please also consider the need to show DSPATR(ND) items with some sort of outline. If there are DPATR(ND) items I have to know to move my cursor over the position to select the field. In browse mode there is no way to select DSPATR(ND) items.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
Hi Jeff,
If I understand you correctly, the pain point is working with overlapping fields on the design page. In CODE Designer this was handled by respecting indicators on the design mode, but in Screen Designer this was a decision up front that the effect of condition indicators would be shown on the preview page. So this goes against one of the basic design decision.
However, we could address the pain point by visually highlighting overlapping fields and allowing the user to pick which one is on top, using the context menu. Would you accept rescoping the RFE to this latter suggestion?
