Need to override class for a private region (IDz for IMS application with isolation)

Hi,
We are working on an ADFz POC.
When we want to set up a debug session for an IMS 3270 transaction in IDz debugger (IDz for IMS Application with isolation), we have a problem.
The region that starts on mainframe is always started in the same class as the region being cloned (in our company this is class W).
This gives a security error because this class is protected so a developer has no authorization to run the private region in this class.
So we definitely need the same feature within IDz as we have in TSO/ISPF.
On Mainframe we can customize the JOB card parameters -> it is possible to override “W” class for a private region.
Lack of this feature in IDz is a showstopper for ADFz roll-out in KBC
versions (see also case TS007476175) :
IDz client is version 15.0.2
We are running IDz 15.0.2 level PH34971 (PTF UI75882).
Kind regards
