using plugin for automation

I have found a Split and Set Spec Limits plugin I would like to use in my automation.

When I use the plugin no activity is recorded in the log file (which is likely expected given I am using a plugin). Is it possible to use it in the workflow or the JSL script?

You can find the files used in the add-in from the add-in installation folder

In this case most of the code you most likely need can be found from split_and_set_spec_limits.jsl which is in bin folder.

This add-in is bit older and I would write it differently if I were to remake it. You can create workflow which basically performs the same actions:

Split your table to get wide formatted data
Create specification table using Summary platform
1. Order of columns and their names do matter here
Use Manage Limits to load the specification limits from the spec summary table into your split table

I think JMP is able to record most of these actions. JMP might not be able to record Manage Limits part fully, but you can check how it can be done from Scripting Index.
