Fishbone/Hierarchical Graph via Graph Builder?

The Diagram function in the analyze / Quality and process menu is very helpful.
One can generate fishbown, hierarchical and nested diagrams.
Digging up Bones: Fisbone Diagrams 

On the other hand, compared with the Graph Builder functionality in JMP18, it feels "outdated":

- no color dropzone [colors have to be applied manually, step by step for each entry]

- no Overlay dropzone - which could be used to control font settings

- no | X /Y Group Dropzones to structure the plot
   the only option is a [by] dropzone - which removes the chance to save a script for the whole graph

 

The largest problem:
After adjusted fonts and color settings, the plot is not saved as a platform script. Instead, the script generates the plot as it is.
 After adding new rows to the data table, the plot has to be generated from scratch.

 

a) Is there a functionality in Graph Builder which allows the user to generate such plots? 
... with all the benefits/formatting options of Graph Builder?

 

b) Who uses the diagram function in Graph Builder?
How do you format and update the plot ? Could you share your experience  & useful tips?

Not possible yet?

Ok, here is the wish: GraphBuilder Powers for Fishbone/hierarchical Diagram Platform .... 

please follow the link to the wish list and use a kudo to support the wish.

I think diagram goes back to v4?, v5? maybe earlier. 

 

A long time ago, (several computers and companies ago) I had a script that also colored branches of the fishbone based on a Color column.  That was a super convenient feature for tracking project status.

Re: Fishbone/Hierarchical Graph via Graph Builder?

Diagram is a very underrated platform in JMP. How many investigations have you participated in that were de-railed/slowed-down by fidgeting-around (I could have used a different f-word...) with the drawing software or sticky notes? The Parent/Child data table is brilliant simplicity that allows the team to focus on the cause brainstorming without being distracted by presentation optics.

Re: Fishbone/Hierarchical Graph via Graph Builder?

Interactive Mindmaps are very useful to "look at the data" - get an overview - brainstorm -  work on the whole picture - zoom into details - zoom out  / edit / add / follow a path ....

The parent/child approach is brilliant to get this information structured + into a data table to analyze / work with the data.
