JSL command to get and set settings in the Preferences - for all (!) settings

☐ cool new feature
☐ could help many users!

☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“

☑ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

 

What inspired this wish list request? 

For some of the settings in Preferences, A user can read:

Get Platform Preferences( Bivariate( Fit Line ), DOE );
Get Preferences( Graph marker size );

and even change the settings via JSL:

 

 

Platform Preferences( Bivariate( Fit Line( 1 ) ) );
Preferences( Graph marker size( "Large" ) );

 

 

Surprisingly, there are other settings in the preferences which cannot be accessed via JSL.

Who defined which settings are available and which are not ?

 

At the moment, I need JSL access to the graphics export settings - but according to Jmp support this is not possible.

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Please provide JSL read/write access to all settings in the preferences.

 

 

Why is this idea important? 

"important"? no, it isn't.
