What inspired this wish list request? Seeing how subset by table names are invoked, especially if a custom output table name is desired. releated to wish list item: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Subsetting-using-quot-Subset-by-quot-naming-option/idi-p/...
What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have the option to keep the catetgory name even if a custom output is used.
Example: Big Class, subset by :sex gives 2 tables sex=M and sex=F .. if I update the output table name to be "new Name" the resulting tables are new Name 1 and new Name 2 ... with no tracking of sex other than the table variable.
I'd like some options:
1. to include the category in the custom output name (eg. "new Name sex=F" "new Name sex=M")
2. to have an option to leave the subset by column in the data table so I don't need to pull from a table variable OR a table name to immedately know which category i'm looking at (while the table variable helps, it's kind of small to read vs the rest of the information in the table)
Why is this idea important? Being able to quickly identify metric/metadata with tables is a halmark of what makes JMP so user friendly. This suggestion only improves on that. In addition, it gives some additional easy context checks in JSL to pull from to verify or add information with these kinds of subsets.
