z/OS IMS Online Application configuration within IDz client

Currently within IDz there are two ways of setting debugger configuration for Batch Applications:

1) z/OS Batch Application using property group

2) z/OS Batch Application using existing JCL

However for IMS configuration there is no setting to setup online IMS transaction configuration for debugging. We have to still use TN3270 / ISPF and setup online transaction details via DTU / EQAPRIM panel ("Edit LE Runtime Options Entries in IMS") as there is no other way to do so within IDz GUI client.

As we do debug on real IMS regions, we would only need to get ability to edit debug information for IMS transaction using IDz client. So if that would be available within IDz also, we would eliminate the need of going into ISPF when debugging IMS transactions when working with IDz client.
