Equivalent of DTU option 8 in RDz

Today, to add the CEEOPTS in a JCL from any RDz editor, you need to create a snippet with a hard coded IP address. We want something like the DTU option 8 on the mainframe. Select Submit with Debug (new right click option on the member name). Then a pop-up displays the different steps. You select the one you need to debug. The CEEOPTS DD card is automatically inserted with the workstation IP address and the port where the Debug daemon is listening. This temporary version of the JCL can then be saved under a new name or discarded.
We are not using the z/OS projects view, but the Remote systems view.

    We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.
