Manipulating many columns at once can be frustrating to new JMP users when the manipulation is not something pre-defined in the New Formula Column menu. At least for some people, the custom transformation function in the Scripting Tools add-in makes this easier and more intuitive. I propose adding this dialog to the New Formula Column menu, and allowing users to save their own commonly used custom transformations in their preferences.
