TDWC - need to have a notepad like functionality to edit scheduling objects

We currently use TWS WebAdmin from Segus as our GUI. Their product has a functionality known as text edit mode. You can select a database object from a filtered view then click the text edit function. A notepad like text edit window appears with the text of the object in it. Once you make your changes, you save it and it does a composer replace/add under the covers. This window can also be used for copy/paste to clone jobs/streams from an existing one. It can also accept a paste from anything else (composer create output file, etc) to bulk load or bulk replace objects. It is a function that is used a great deal at our company. We have over 400 users and we won't use TDWC unless it has this functionality in it. I know our user base depends on it daily. I would be willing to show how it works in an AOS session if that helps understand it better or I can send screen shots of the execution of it. I rated the priority as urgent as we critically need this functionality in order to accept TDWC as our GUI. My management would like to standardize on 1 GUI, but we cannot until TDWC has this type of functionality. I imagine there are others who use WebAdmin that would appreciate this functionality as well. Please consider this request for enhancement and feel free to contact me with any questions.
