Simplify Cleanup of Config assist objects

We have been using zOSMF over the past few years and over that time there are orphaned objects that are just taking up space (Traffic Discrptors, Requirement maps, etc). There needs to be a way to filter out those things that are not part of a stack config for easier cleanup. right now I have to go to each object and find if it is used and for security levels and traffic descriptors its worse since I may have to go to the requirement map first ..delete it then go to the other objects and get rid of them. All of which takes forever due to the slowness of the tool

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan.

    We need a way to do this in a bulk way, we have a build up of a decade of rules and multiple backing stores. Going in one by one is time consuming and not practical.

    If we can get a download of how many of a particular object was used (Traffic Descriptors, Address groups, etc) that would allow us to pick ou t the ones that were not used.

    We will accept this requirement but in the meantime, are you making use of the Show Where Used function that exists for every reusable object, to help you find the ones that aren't referenced? You shouldn't have to dig through multiple levels of includes, select an object and pull down actions->show where used it will tell you all the places it is used, or indicate if it's not.
