z/OSMF : CA : 'SAVE AS' grey for no current file

z/OSMF : Configuration Assistant . Manage Backing Stores

When I click on a backingstorefile under 'Manage Backing Stores' and use the Action 'SAVE AS' the tool doesn't save the backingstorefile I've clicked on. It save the backingstore from which I go to 'Manage Backing Stores'.
When it is not possible to save the file which I 've clicked on, then the Action 'SAVE AS' must be 'grey' so that I cann't choose the Action from the Action bar. Similar to the 'delete' Action for the current backingstore while I click on the current backingstorefile.

    It would be really good next to the Home and Save buttons on the main page there is a SAVE AS button that would allow the user to quickly be able to save a new version of the backing store instead of going through 3 different panels.

    It is good that this is done, because otherwise data could be lost.

    I would even suggest to treat this issue as an error. If an action does not relate to an object that has been selected before, this is more than confusing.
