"Add func" of an Application parameter would be good to the Error Handler layout (ended-in-error-list)

Hello, I would have a suggestion for the TWS ended-in-error-list layout. In the TWS error handler, usually we set the required fields which help us for the error handling. It usually depends on the design how a customer use the Scheduler tool. We can set almost all the things we need for the best decision during the error handling, but one thing is missing which is the Add function parameter of an Application. From my point of view, this parameter could help us during the error handling to see if a Jobfailure related to a manually added Application, or a Triggered one, etc. so we don’t need to check this required parameter in another (6.2 or 5.2) IWS panel: ---see Picture 1---- I am using the following layout in TWS 5.9 menu with some small modification on my Customers, but the mentioned “Add func” parameter cannot be set unfortunately ---see Picture 2---- Many thanks in advance. Regards, Arnold

    Hello,

    I can see, that the request is in Future consideration status, may I ask if these kind of features can be implemented with a simple Patch (instead of waiting for the next big release?).

    Many thanks in advance.
