Add the autostart option to all IBM i Debug Servers and Debug Service

Currently in Navigator for i the TCP/IP server System Debugger consist of 3 instances the System Debugger, IDE Debugger Server and Debug Service. Unfortunately the Debug server is not available in the Navigator for i TCP/IP Configuration Properties Servers to Start section. You can use the command "CHGTCPSVR SVRSPCVAL(*DBG) AUTOSTART(*YES) for the System Debugger. For the other 2 there is to my knowledge no option to get the job done, to autostart them.
This request is about the IDE Debugger server and the Debug Service asking for an autostart option, if possible with the option to activate the autostart using Navigator for i.
This would avoid issues when using VS Code allowing you to start the Debug service without the right authority. When using RDi, I believe it has the option to start IDE Debugger Server. I do not know under which user that is done. An autostart option will ensure that the correct IBM i user is used for the start.
