In export IMS Resources to z/OS, unable to refresh dataset name.

In export IMS Resources to z/OS, unable to refresh dataset name. There is no option next to the entry window to refresh. We did find out later that you can hit enter and it will refresh but that is not intuitive. Something needs to be added to this screen to add a refresh button.

    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 inputis always very important to us. 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. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
