Improve support when the System Property Groups contain a large number of entries

When the System Property Groups file (propertygroups.xml) contains a large number of property groups it should be possible to update individual property groups in propertygroups.xml.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and for this reason, we will not be implementing it. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year window. Thanks.

    There should be some tool that can be used to process the individual property groups.

    There is no need to provide an editor, the Property Group Editor provides this capability.

    What is missing is some means of merging one or more changed PGs in the System Property Group.

    We need some clarification on this RFE. What does it mean to edit one property group in this large XML file - is the request to have an editor ? OR a tool of some sort ? Thanks.
