Ability to control multiple Interval values for Password or Phrase Intervals

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The profile C4R.USER.PHRINT.owner.userid allows for APPLDATA to be specified where you can control access to the usage of a specific interval or no interval. In our environment I could only use C4R.USER.PHRINT.** but I would need multiple APPLDATA entries.

We only use 2 numerical values and NOINTERVAL. I may want my engineering team to able to set the 2 numerical values and NOINTERVAL, but my admin team to only set the numerical values. At minimum I would want to set a APPLDATA of (00030,00365,NEVER) If the person tried to set a interval of 60, it would be denied.
