RFE Request - Monitoring same field from two (or more) programs

In the Monitors view, it is possible to monitor the same field more than once when it appears in two (or more) programs being debugged, or in two (or more) programs in the stack. When done, the field appears in the list multiple times as needed but is not clear which program it is associated with at that time. It would be nice to have the field identified with the program from which it's being monitored from.


Use Case:

Program A has a field name called VALUE. Program B is called and has it's own field name of VALUE, but the value may/may not be the same between the two programs. You can monitor both fields but they only appear by their name in the Monitors view. If you are testing the application and need to change the value, which one do you change? If you pick the wrong one, you will alter the value in the wrong program and not get the desired results.

    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.
