IDz v17 : not able to change User ID via Set Pattern when creating an IMS Isolation Profile

It would be useful for our developers because then they would be able to Debug an MPP (IMS TM) in IDz and also set all z/OS Debugger Profiles-settings and do all z/OS Debugger Profiles--actions (such as Register/Start Region/…) from within IDz.
For more information, see the "Set Pattern" discussion in the debug profile topic - Creating a debug profile for an IMS application using IMS Isolation with an Eclipse IDE - IBM Documentation
- Note that it does not mention "User ID".

When the developer now wants to intercept an IMS-message from another user and debug it, he's forced to do this by setting/creating the Debugger Profile on greenscreen via IMS Transaction Isolation Facility. 
For the corresponding greenscreen doc, see Using IMS Transaction Isolation to create a private message-processing region and select transactions to debug - IBM Documentation

According to me, it should be able to alter the "User ID" on the "Set Pattern"-panel as it's now already possible to alter "User ID to match" on the "Edit pattern-matching parameters"-panel on greenscreen.
