Schema's name should not be mandatory in Cube Designer just like in Framework Manager

We have different database schema's name in each environment such as DEV_Cognos, UAT_Cognos and PROD1_Cognos and Prod2_Cognos. In the cube designer, we have to define the schema's name otherwise an error will be returned. Therefore promoting from DEV to UAT, I have to change the schema's name and republish. The same steps will be done when promoting to PROD. I do not have to do this with my relational model as Framework Manager allows me not to define the schema's name.

It would be nice to have cube designer schema's name not mandatory just like Framework Manager. I believe Framework Manager is looking at the current user schema. Currently we have many cubes and the process had caused so much inconvenience. Also there is a restriction of what we want to implement in the future due to the schema's name must be defined in the cube designer.
