This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

The Advanced Search dialog in the Automation Scripts application needs to support searching for code snippets and launch points out of the box.
It only takes a few minutes to use App Designer to add fields for searching the LAUNCHPOINTTYPE, OBJECTNAME, ATTRIBUTENAME and CONDITION attributes on SCRIPTLAUNCHPOINT, but it would be nice if they were just there out of the box.
The bit mapped launch point ObjectEvent attribute is obtuse for those who can't memorize the bit mapping, so this should be made easier for searching.
Finally, the Advanced Search should also include a field for searching in the script's source code.
This will save trouble for support staff, developers and administrators who would otherwise need database skills and access or time to click through each script in the UI.

What it could look like to the right of the script search fields in Automation Scripts > Advanced Search is attached.
To make the ObjectEvent attribute more accessible without any need to change code, it could be hooked to a numeric domain and the field could then use the plain VALUELIST lookup.
