Need an ability to dynamically modify metadata for conversational search

Currently the metadata for conversational search configuration is done on an assistant level and it is static.

We are working on a Client Engineering pilot where there is a requirement to support multiple versions of documentation.  For example, DB2 v11, v12, v13.
Even if we manually ingest the documentation, the only way to filter the RAG search is to use different Assistants, one for each version.

We need to be able to modify metadata similarly how we can modify the filters in the Assistant Action Step + Search for action settings.   See attached screenshot of the dialog box.

Another advange is to be able to look into a specific subset of the RAG repository.   For example, for this particular question, only look at DB2 related documentation.
As practice have shown it increases the confidence of the answers.

Here is another example.  We have been asked to ingest documentation for ChangeMan ZMF.
When I ask questions about it, I am getting hits back from both IBM and ChangeMan documentation, because there are a lot of hits in IBM docs for ChangeMan.
I can adjust the ration between customer and ibm docs, but it would apply for the Assistant, which is not what I want.

I am not sure if this is going to block the sale or not at this point.
