Request to allow copy/paste/rename on the Mainframe Server Merged

Programs for which a user has access on the Natural Server portion of Natural One are not able to simply copy/paste/rename if they wish to copy an existing program then modify the copy. They can copy and paste, but only to overwrite, not to rename.

Currently, the user must first either use SYSMAIN on the Mainframe to copy a program to a different name, then go to Natural One to edit. Or, they can copy the program to the Project Explorer area of Natural One under a different library, rename, then copy back to the original library.

Why not allow a simple copy/paste/rename within the Library in the Natural Server area of Natural One instead of having to jump through hoops to perform this simple operation? Thank you for your consideration!
