    IBM Business Developer is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time.

    This RFE is more than a decade old. It might not be relevant now. Please create a new RFE if this requirement still exists.

    Thank you for this input. We agree that this would allow the creation of more generalized functions for handling form fields. We will consider this in our future planning.
