IBM Cognos does not permit to choose the from table in a query

IBM Cognos does not allow to choose the from table in a query. The only way to do this is to convert the SQL expression (not affordable in case we'd like to add fields).

Use Case: I would like to retrieve the SOX_Issue ID Field and name. In the same query I'd like to retrieve the ID of the 2 parent (SOXControl and SOXRisks) from parent_context folder under SOX_Issue.

If I filter an existing Issue by ID the result will be no value because the from table is the RT__Control_Issue and not RV_Issue as stated in Third attached jpeg.

Is it possible to have in the next improvements a function to choose the main (from) table?

Many thanks

GR
