RELATED IDEAS

ScreenDesigner support all keywords that have visual impact such as CHGINPDFT in design view

Some keywords have visual effect that is not reflect in the design or preview tabs. One example is CHGINPDFT.
This confuses developers because they think they have not set the appropriate keywords and they loose time.
Development is not accepting it as a defect even though both SDA and CODE Designer correctly show the effect and requests that an RFE be opened.
Even though this RFE references only the CHGINPDFT, I am asking to support ALL keywords that have a visual effect. I had previously entered a separated RFE (10836) for user edit codes (5-9) but I'd like to avoid entering individual RFEs when I find another case a few weeks from now.


Use Case:

1) Set CHGINPDFT keyword on a field
2) Visual representation changes in Design and Preview Tabs.

    Thank you for submitting this request. We do see value in the proposed feature, however many other requests have garnered more votes, or otherwise clearly represent a higher degree of value to a broader cross-section of customers. Unfortunately, due to the large number of higher priority requests, we do not believe we will realistically deliver this, and do not wish to leave requests in "under consideration" status for an open-ended period of time.

    Accordingly, we are moving your request to rejected status at this time. You are free to resubmit for reconsideration during a later planning cycle, particularly if you are confident that the request will garner more votes.

    Thank you again for taking the time to offer your suggestion.  Much of our product direction reflects feedback such as yours, and your input is always valued even when we're unable to directly incorporate it.

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