JMP Wish List

We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.
  2. Submit: Post your new idea using the Suggest an Idea button. Please submit one actionable idea per post rather than a single post with multiple ideas.
  3. Kudo & Comment Kudo ideas you like, and comment to add to an idea.
  4. Subscribe: Follow the status of ideas you like. Refer to status definitions to understand where an idea is in its lifecycle. (You are automatically subscribed to ideas you've submitted or commented on.)

We consider several factors when looking for what ideas to add to JMP. This includes what will have the greatest benefit to our customers based on scope, needs and current resources. Product ideas help us decide what features to work on next. Additionally, we often look to ideas for inspiration on how to add value to developments already in our pipeline or enhancements to new or existing features.

Enable Code Folding for Comment Block (/* */)

Currently, code folding is not supported for messages, platforms, user-defined functions, and comments.  Instead of a jmpkeyword.jsl option, a JSL advanced option to Collapse All Comment Blocks would be a very nice to have.

I think this is a good Idea.

I would think additionally about code folding assignments, e.g. a string covering several lines, or adding scripts to tables (that have many lines). Usually I help myself adding an expression and evaluating it, this makes the code much better readable. See examples.

sql_string =
"
select
*
from
dual
";

dtc << new script(
	"__newscript__", 
Names default to here(1);
wait(1);
wait(1);
);

This is very cool.  Extensive comment blocks, those that apply context, assumptions, pseudo-code and references can be quite useful for training and just updating and testing old programs.  Thank you JMP developers!!
