Enable the storage and retrieval of VIEW-Formats in native (legacy) and MDX-Views in Explorations in PAfE and PAW

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In TM1 Server Explorer/Cube Viewer a user, modeler or administrator was capable of saving and retrieving individual view-formats per view, independent of the format assigned in the last dimension of the cube. This format was stored in the ID 375 of the VUE-file. As this feature was heavily used in our customers legacy TM1-system, we need to have the capability to a) store the selected format (eg. to the VUE-file), b) not delete the format from the native VUE-file when saving as a native view and c) be able to open a view with the saved format in all Exploration tools in PAfE, PAW, etc.

The current situation is, that saved view-format is completely ignored in PAW/PAfE. As soon as you save and overwrite the VUE file from PAW or PAfE the format-entry in ID 375 is blank. The only way to currently save the format is in Architect/Perspectives. TM1Web in its current state, which is the main frontend of the TM1 instance, is still “understanding” and interpreting the legacy view format strings. Even formats selected for MDX or native views with the Format-Manager in PAW are not saved and retrievable (yet?). Users would benefit from a feature they are used of using for many years and will also complain about its current disappearance
