What inspired this wish list request?
If users want to access display boxes in reports they always have the problem to get the correct code. Is it ListBoxBox # 3 or #5 nad with an intermediate step to the Panel Box, it then #2 or #1?
With Jmp 17 it got a bit better, because a direct code for the display box can be generated by the properties menu.
So far so good.
But just try to get a robust code to access the list box in the center of the Update menu - robust even if the user changes the Replace Column setting!
A wonderful trick from 
select and deselect the node to check if you selected the right one.
This approach could be optimized by a tiny new feature, implemented in the right click context menu of the JSL editor:
What is the improvement you would like to see?
If a user selects the code of a display box, please add a select/deselect command to the right click context menu.
When the user clicks on the command Jmp should send a select command to the display box:
myWindow[Panel Box( 3 )][ListBoxBox( 3 )] << selectIf possible: read the current select state of the display box and toggle it (select -> unselect -> select ...)
Why is this idea important?
The trick from the JSL course is so helpful - but the user always has to write the code, change the code, delete it again.
With the new command in the right click context menu, it will be much more fun to find the right code to address a Display Box
