List of what IS and IS NOT captured in Workflow Builder (and Log)?

I was recently trying to automate a process of opening a number of files linked to a variety of database sources, combining tables, adding columns, doing calculations and so on. I wanted to use a Workflow for this, and so I recorded everything.

When I went to execute the workflow about half the steps were skipped and I saw that Workflow Builder didn't capture things like 'run table scripts' ... nor were they captured in the log.

So in the end I had to convert it to a script and manually insert the table script items and a few other things. Works great, everything fine, total 'click and go get coffee' scale script.

BUT - it made me think "I had no clue running table scripts wasn't captured in the log or workflow builder". I was wondering if there is a running tally of what IS and IS NOT captures as of 19.0.x?

To my knowledge there isn't official (released) list like that.

A huge amount of action is already captured by Advanced Log / Workflow Builder.
And with every new version of JMP, the list grows longer.

Here is an unofficial list of actions that are still not captured by Workflow Builder:

#4: Table Scripts

Awesome - thanks! I thought I did an adequate search but didn't see this, exactly what I was looking for!

I guess the list of missed actions will shrink again with future versions of JMP. I hope.
One of the largest issues are indeed the table scripts.
Another issue (much more difficult to fix): custom AddIns.

The search function in the community is not ideal!
I followed @jthi's suggestion and use Google search with a restriction to the community pages:

-> orders of magnitude better

PS: Besides the list of "missed actions", I collected some other lists.
