Unique Datasources off the same Object Structure

Currently if you have multiple datasources that pull from the same Maximo object structure, you have to have the same query on all the datasources.

Ideally each datasource should allow unique data to be imported so that only pertinent data is present.  An example of this was a requirement where a client wanted to be able to select inventory from storerooms across multiple sites.  This was achieved by amending the query on the locationDS datasource, which worked fine in the MAF Config tool but did not on Mobile.  This only worked when the locationListDS datasource on the Material Request page was also amended to reference the same query as the  locationDS datasource.

This would also benefit examples where you bring in multiple ALNDOMAINs.  Currently you have to import all the relevant ALNDOMAINs and then use an app customisation to only show the relevant options in lookups.  Whereas ideally you would just have a set targeted datasources and call those as required.
