Cannot save edits to one-way analysis script title bar if a By variable is added

I have a one way analysis that I want to plot two different ways using JMP 19.1.4

For the first plot, I plot a continuous variable as (y) and a categorical variable as (x). For this plot, I can edit the script title bar, save the script to the data table, then when I rerun the script, the edited script name appears in the script title bar of the plot.

For the second plot, I plot the same continuous variable as (y), the same categorical variable as (x), and add a second categorical variable as By to generate 4 side-by-side one-way analyses. I save the edits to the script title bar and save the script to the data table. When I rerun the script, the script title bar always reverts to OneWayAnalysis of Y by X, where Y and X are the names of my continuous and categorical variables.

The renamed script titles appear in the list of available scripts in the Scripts tab on the right of the data table.

Is there an obstacle to saving changes to the displayed script name in the script title bar when a second categorical variable is selected?

Seems like JMP isn't able to capture changes to the highest-level outline box if by variable is being used. This same issue is also present with other platforms. I would contact JMP support to ask about this as this might be a bug or intentional.

Thanks for reporting this - we do have an open issue on this as the behavior is not expected, and hope to have a fix for a future release.
