Sterling Filegateway UI - to add an extra option "Both" for Authentication Type in User Account in Partner creation

In Sterling B2Bi UI, while User account creation we are having options Local, External and Both for Authentication Type.

In Sterling B2Bi UI, if we opt option "Both" for external partners with whom we do password based authentication,

and if we do any changes for that partner profile from SFG UI, the authentication type in the existing setup from B2BI UI will get updated automatically (It changes automatically from Both to External )

and the password will get corrupted (will get deleted from UI and Database)

What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

This will help in partner creation to add the password details for External users from SFG UI itself.
