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).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

When clicking in the Table View area, we must be extremely careful not to accidentally change a source member name. We are used to positioning, like in the Remote Systems tree view (and Windows Explorer), by typing a few characters of the member we are searching for. However, when in the Table View and in the "Name" column then that particular member will be renamed if we type anything. We've noticed that the "Type" and "Text" columns are also input fields, which we can live with, but would rather them only be accessible by right-click and selecting the appropriate PDM option. At the very least please add a Preference flag to allow or disallow these columns as input fields (Name, Type, Text).
We like the Remote Systems connection tree and being able to navigate to the appropriate source member. But this is inconsistent when in the Table View, and most dangerous when in the "Name" column. Also, a right-click of a source member should have "option 13=Change Text" available, rather than having the "Type" and "Text" columns as input.

This RFE is a duplicate of another RFE. See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=47066 for current status.
Also, we had posted a question in that RFE but have not received an answer, maybe you can take a look?
A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
