Ability to have "User-set server name" for all technology sources

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We currently have “User-set server name“ for MSSQL Connection Configuration. This helps in displaying an Application Name in a standardized way in Flow Viewer that is understandable for the Business users. Since the name reflects as soon as the Analysis for a specific MSSQL source completes, there isn’t a need for manually setting Aliases for such applications to replace hostname.

Likewise. it would be good if “User-set server name“ property can be made available for all technology sources that Manta is able to connect and scan, so that we can avoid an additional activity of applying Aliases, which would be available as soon as Analysis completes and Business Users would easily understand the application that is being referred to, since hostname is too technical and not everyone would be familiar with such nomenclature.

Kindly let me know if any further information is needed in providing the requested change for Connections in Admin UI.
