zSecure - Supported SMF fields via Carla related to PH63197

We have installed and activated APAR PH63197 for IBM Communication Server (zERT), see: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH63197?mhsrc=ibmsearch_a&mhq=PH63197 

This introduces new fields and details for certificates, for example: SMF119SS_TLS_CCert_Serial

However, when checking the latest documentation available online for zSecure here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/szs/3.1.0?topic=records-smf-field-descriptions-tls and here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/szs/3.1.0?topic=records-tables-fields-record-types I do not find the new fields as supported out of the box.

It would be great if those new fields will be added as well to be available for directly via Carla.

    Will this be implemented in the 3.2 release of zSecure?
