Dynamic formula removal

I would like the ability to update the delete columns function so that it can "delete formula" or "remove ref" automatically when 'errors' occur.

 

Currently I can manually delete a column and JMP will notify me if that column is referenced by a formula in another column, giving me the options of how to proceed. But in script, if I code the deletion of a column referenced by another, the column won't delete and I just get a note in the log.

 

In a dynamic setting I may not know which, if any, formulas exist and if they reference columns which may be deleted. So I would like a way to automate that and either do nothing, remove references or remove formulas from the JSL interface.

 

Thanks!

I also agree. I would still love to have this capability with JSL.
