File Manager Templates reuse across LPARs

I had a user request today about an improvement to File Manager in case it doesn't exists.
The user was asking if there was some way to reuse the same templates across different z/OS connections.

In our case an area need to mirror the same dataset to 5 different places each time they change.
Maybe you could just have the option to choose another LPAR connection for the templates?

And of course if you could remember this setting between different dataset that would nice.

    With ptf UI32450 for enhancement APAR PI46736, File Manager may now directly use a template residing on another z/OS. This allows creation and maintenance of template on one system, but usage by othe connectable systems without the need to copy those data sets.
