HCD - option to switch IOCDS for next POR on SA CF Dynamic Activation screen

On other HCD Dynamic activation options (HCD 2.6.1 and 2.7 with option A) you have the ability to specify a switch of the IOCDS for the next POR. In the GA2 support providing the ability to dynamically activate a new IOGEN on a Stand Alone CF (option 2.11 then option A) there is no option to specify this. It would be beneficial if this were consistent with the other functions and the option added.

    Hello Greg,

    our team discussed again your requirement and decided to decline it.

    Reason:
    HCD already offers the action [Work with IOCDSs] / [Switch IOCDS] with option 2.11.s).

    Since "Switch IOCDs" makes more sense in the context of "Work with IOCDS" than in the context of a "dynamic operation" we will make no changes.

    Kind regards,
    Your HCD Team

    Hello Greg,

    many thanks for helping us to improve HCD. We understand the overall intention of your proposed requirement. This is a useful enhancement to HCD and we will move it to our requirement list.

    But be aware:
    Since the content of our next release is already defined, we will move
    your request into our long-term queue.

    Kind regards
    Your HCD Team
