Filling Comment into rows by selected row state from scatterplot

mlo1 — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 12:17:14 GMT

I like to avoid the way using the menu Rows -> Row Selection -> Name selection in column
I rather like to put a comment into rows selected by mouse from a scatterplot via script.
The following does not write the text to the column and does not give an error in the log.
How is the correct syntax? I am using JMP18

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();


//Select data point in graph
// Use column Step do comment the Process steps

// Write the value into all selected rows
For Each Row(
    If( Row State() == 1,  // 1 = selected
        :Step = "Process1"
    )
);

Hi @mlo1 ,

I opted to avoid looking for state and just grabbing the currently selected rows then using the positions to fill in the column.

dt=current data table();
selected=dt<<get selected rows; //grab the selected rows

column(dt,"Step")[selected]="Process 1";//replace the selected rows with "Process 1"

Thanks,

Ben
