JMP 18 for Mac

[#1]

JMP 18 for Mac has a problem where empty cells get filled in with values from the adjacent column in the table that is being queried. 

For example, if I do 

SELECT 555, null

Then Column 1 and Column 2 both get populated with 555

This was reported in June of 2024 but I still don't have a solution from the development team at JMP 18. Is there any workaround that I can use so that I can trust my data in JMP?

The fix is in the works.  I talked to the developer that made the fix in JMP19.  I do not think it made it into the upcoming JMP 18.2, but believe that it will be in the maintenance and security update JMP 18.2.1

Any timeline for 18.2.1? Thanks!
