Add blocking of edition of the sequence number zone in Cobol editor

In COBOL Editor for edition of programs, it is impossible to inactivate the edition in the left sequence number zone (columns 1 to 7). This option exists in ISPF editor (TSO) and in LPEX editor (NUM COB).
In Cobol Editor, even if we unnumber left (Right click in the program > Unnumber Left&right), the numbers disappears BUT it is still possible to edit the left sequence number zone.
In ISPF editor (TSO) and in LPEX, the NUM COB command can be used to inactivate the edition of the left sequence number zone (the numbers disappears and cannot be edited).
We wish we could have this same option (equivalent of NUM COB) in COBOL EDITOR in order to block the possibility of edition of the left sequence number.

    Hi Dev Team, I reviewed all Euro Info Ideas with customer and they confirmed they still need this one ( also mentioned in IDZ-I-1085) - Could you then please also reconsider this one ? Thanks

    This was confirmed by customer as a still valid request. As the Idea is in "Future consideration" status, is there any chance it can be delivered for 2023 ? Thanks
