    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and will be under consideration for a future release. Status has been updated to Uncommitted Candidate.

    The preferences for the Verify (Options) can be preserved for all sessions by going to Window -> Preferences and selecting Remote Systems -> IBM i -> Program Verifiers -> ILE RPG.
    I think this solves the problem of preserving the settings. However, we will consider your very good suggestion to easily access this setting and make settings like this "stick".

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.

    May I go so far as to say that anything the user changes in the workspace, should "stick", and remain in effect when the workspace is next opened.
