    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Thank you for the RFE request. We have added this request to our development list and will work to implement a solution in a future release. This will be work to organize the retrieval and display of Control Elements.
