Suggestion on Databinding

Hi,
I don't expect direct answer from Ranorex team here, I'd rather see people's opinions on this.
I use Ranorex for a year now and it's great tool. When I develop my tests, I try to make it as modular as possible (so I can later add more tests to cover regression). So my current test case looks like this: That's great, but when I need to bind the values to the variables, it's pain in the ***, see I kind of understand why is it like that, however I think a simple enhancement could make it much clearer. That is to control the binding from the side of module (or better say an instance of a module). Currently you define on the side of test case variable to which module variable it is bound. But why don't define on the side of module variables which test case variables will be used? Internaly nothing would change, it's just better user experience. I have drawn a simple button in the modules.png. A simple window would appear with a table of two columns, one with the module variable names, and one with values where you could either directly write a value or choose from test case variables.
What do you, users of Ranorex, think? Please, let me know. Thank you.
