Provide ability to list all z/OSMF Workflow Definitions

z/OSMF Workflow Definitions must be specified when creating a Workflow instance. However the user must know the name and location of the file that contains the Workflow Definition. It would be FAR easier to use Workflows if the Workflow Editor 'cataloged' the Workflow Definition when it is created, and that catalog could then be used to present the user with a list of known Workflow Definitions when they are creating a Workflow instance.

Similarly, if you want to change or update an existing Workflow Definition, you must know the name and location of the Workflow Definition File. It would much easier if the above catalog could be used to present the user with the list of known Workflows, and let the user select the Workflow from that list.

-------------------------

I just import (create) a workflow from an uploaded file. I don't know why the pull down menu for the workflow definition file doesn't just have a directory tree or a tree from the starting point of what is typed in. If I type /u/userid/ it would be nice if it showed the directories / files under that so I could easily find the workflow xml file.
