Record names in subprocedures

RDi has its Code Competion helping the programmer a lot with competing variables, record names and procedures.

When programming in subprocedures, the completion doesn't work always at it does in the main cycle.
When including files into a subprocedure the editor neither shows the record name, nore when renaming them, the renamed one.

This is very uncomfortable since I'm used to it when using it outside of subprocedures. Recognizing the record name of local used files would improve developer productivity a lot.


Use Case:

Here is some code: https://gist.github.com/LasterOfDesaster/8c508a390983cac409fdc5c59f1978ca

It does compile, but when coding this in RDi there is this problem, that the editor does not recognize the record name.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your request. After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near term, so it is being declined. However, your request does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    Is this an RFE - or a PMR?
