Allow 'Position To' Logic in the Object List Pane

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When displaying the object list pane, specifically, a member list for a source file, there is no way to position to. Using the standard entry of a value in the member name field, this does not position to, but changes the name of the member. NOT GOOD. If this is by design, there should be a preference setting to allow for this or not. (similar to having to use option 7 in PDM to change a member or object name).


Use Case:

set up a source file in a connection (QRPGLESRC or QDDSSRC). Select the object list pane to see a list of all members in the file. In the member column, the member name can be changed, when a user might think that this list, similar to a PDM member list, Too easy to change member names by mistake. If a user feels this is necessary, then a preference setting should be available. Else, the member name should NOT be allowed to be changed in this pane.

    It is by design to be able to edit each cell in the table in this way, including the member name. Please note that in the pull-down menu in the top-right corner of the Object Table view there is a 'Position to...' action. Does this satisfy your requirement?

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
