Need help troubleshooting graphics script: "Graphic script reported errors in log"

I need help understanding how to reference framebox's axis from within graphics script.

Here's what I have now:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
ob_group = Outline Box( "Testing Handles: " || (dt << Get Name) );

nw = New Window( (dt << get name), ob_group );

GB_wHandle = Function( {dt, X_parameter, Y_Parameter, groupByColumnString},
	groupByColumn = Column( dt, groupByColumnString );
	cb = Context Box(
		box:exx = 60;
		box:exy = 60;
		box:gb = Graph Builder(
			Size( 450, 350 ),
			Ignore Platform Preferences( 1 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Variables( X( Column( X_Parameter ) ), Y( Column( Y_Parameter ) ), Overlay( groupByColumn ) ),
			Elements( Points( X, Y ), Smoother( X, Y ) )
		);
		box:rgb = box:gb << Report;


		box:framebox = box:rgb << XPATH( "//FrameBox" );

		box:axis = box:rgb << XPATH( "//AxisBox" );
		box:axisMax = box:axis << Get Max;
		box:axisMin = box:axis << Get Min;
		
		{box:exx, box:exy} = box:axisMin + 10;
		
		box:framebox << Add Graphics Script(
			"Front",
			Description( "Handle" ), 
			
			//Script start
			{Handle(
				box:exx,
				box:exy,
				box:exx = x;
				box:exy = y;
			) ; 
			box:axisMax = box:axis << Get Max;
			box:axisMin = box:axis << Get Min;
			Pen Color( "Red" ) ; Line( box:axisMin, {box:exx, box:exy} ) ; }
		);
	);
	Return( cb );
);

ob_group << Append( GB_wHandle( dt, "height", "weight", "sex" ) );

I need context box because I have multiple GBs in the same window with independent handles.

Everything works until I select a point on the plot or a row in the table and exclude it.

Then my graphics disappear and I get "Graphic script reported errors in log" and "Send Expects Scriptable Object in access or evaluation of 'List' , {/*###*/DisplayBox[], DisplayBox[]}" in the log.

The error happens because of the lines:

box:axisMax = box:axis << Get Max;
box:axisMin = box:axis << Get Min;

If I comment them out, no errors - but then I don't get updated axis min/max in case user changes axis scale.

 

How can I fix it?

Yep, I figured that it was re-drawing, couldn't pinpoint how to reference it.
