Allow users to select more than one module view at a time

We use the shared view feature in DOORS Next to limit the number of attributes that are exported in a module.

Described here in Step 5
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-management/7.0.2?topic=files-exporting-reqif

"To select a shared view, select the module first, then select the view from the Select View pane. Select a share view to specify exported artifacts and attributes from the module, as defined by the view's filter and columns."

We need to restrict the number of attributes exported for privacy reasons and also to reduce the size of ReqIF files which easily go over 150MB. When ReqIF are too large you encounter performance issues on import and export. In a single ReqIF we commonly select at least 50 modules for export at a time. That means that we must perform the below operation 50+ times for every ReqIF export.

1) "Add Module"
2) Select the module in the folder hierarchy
3) Select the "Select View" panel and click on the relevant shared view link
4) Click "Add View"

Please provide a dialog similar to the current "Add Views to the ReqIF Definition" for "Add Module". When we add views from this, it does not restrict the number of attributes and so does not help us. Even if that is enabled by an advanced property, it would be a big help for us.

    We noticed these other Ideas, but they are not clearly the same concern.
