Use local repository folder structure when uploading to USS from a multi-root workspace during User Build in IDz on VS Code

Currently, during User Build in IDz on VS Code for a multi-root workspace where the program being built in Repo 1 has dependencies on copybooks in Repo 2 in the same workspace, the copybooks from Repo 2 are uploaded to Repo 1’s working folder on USS. As these USS filepaths are reflected in the USS view of Zowe Explorer and referenced in the “IBM User Build” Output console log, this can be misleading for z/OS application developers, who need to be clear on the ownership of each element and for whom User Build is the first level of testing.

In contrast (and as a precedent for customers switching from IDz (Eclipse) to IDz on VS Code), IDz (Eclipse)’s User Build uploads copybooks from separate local repositories (in the same multi-root workspace) into separate respective working folders on USS. It would be beneficial for z/OS application developers if the User Build in IDz on VS Code would perform its uploads similarly, i.e. using the same folder structure in USS as the local repository folder structure from the multi-root workspace.
