    The feature to add datasets to an ADCD image available as part of the latest IBM Z Development and Test Environment release. Please open a separate RFE for the volumes part of this requirement if you feel it is still needed.

    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. Your request is currently in line with our product strategy, but may not be delivered within the release currently under development. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
    Note: We currently support adding datasets (not volumes) to ADCD images. This request will be considered to allow for updates to the image after it is deployed. It will not include volumes support as this would need a separate RFE review to assess the need.
