Live Outline doesn't work with User-Associated Member Types

In RDP, you can associate a member type with a parser. Menu Option: Window > Preferences > LPEX Editor > Parsers > Parser Associations. These non-standard member/document types have been causing the Live Outline to return an error dialog to the user (that's what the PMR attached is). I'm told that while they'll fix RDP so it doesn't return an error, but I was told that I needed to create an RFE in order for the parser association to be picked up by the outline.


Use Case:

Without source control software, a part of our process is to modify the source type. So I would change an RPGLE source to RPG_Kurt and I have my RDP parser association setup to treat RPG_KURT like sqlrpgle.
