Actions missed by Advanced Log/Workflow Builder

hogi — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:42:41 GMT

container to collect actions which are not recorded yet.

NB:
"Workflow Builder + Add-Ins" is already discussed in this post:

and this wish list entry:

[More like this]

NB: If an action gets recorded by new version of Jmp, I try to update the posts.
@ Jmp support, development: If I missed to do so, feel free to change the respective post (I guess you can do so)

There are some actions (changes to Reports) which are not recorded directly, but indirectly because the full code of the Report will be saved once the report is closed.

That's fine :)

1) select and delete entries from a table
(deleting a full row is captured, deleting some entries: not)

3) enable scroll lock for a column

4) run a table script

sure, in some cases, the result of a table script is a report.
And after closing the report, it will be recorded by Workflow Builder.

IN SOME CASES
- in many other cases, a table script does much (!) more ... and will be missing in the Workflow.

It's much easier to remove a redundant step than to manually add a missing step.

5) row and column selections:
some commands work, like Select matching Cells , others don't like Select all rows

6) click-and-drag operation from a summary table - illustrated e.g. in this post:

Mentioning @Mandy_Chambers, as she mentioned in Discovery last year that she wanted to be in the loop from anything not being recorded.

thanks @Jed_Campbell I think as i read through this, Julian had answered most everything. Mostly that you can't record the add-ins with workflows -- and that some actions could not be scripted to the workflow either. If there is something else here specifically that needs a note, let me know I'd be happy to add another ticket. it seems we have tickets for what I was seeing here as issues. Thanks!
