Add Filter to Object Structure Include/Exclude Action

Please add a filter to the Object Structure Application - Include/Exclude Action.

The action enables the user to include/exclude fields from other dialogs. However, because there is no filter - the user has to manually page thru multiple pages to find the exact fields to exclude from display.

In the attached screenshot - there are over 450+ fields in the Work Order tables - which means the user has to navigate thru 45 pages to specify the fields to be excluded. This is an extremely time consuming task - and if you miss a field - omg. You need to start again.

This action is used extensively in Report Object Structures (ROS) where the user can exclude extra/system fields from the ROS, which then simplify the displays of the QBR, Data Set Designer and Cognos Analytics dialogs.

The additional of a filter in this dialog would make the user (admin's) life much simpler.

    Great idea! Should consider filter on other dialog boxes for config as well.
