New Formula Column menu: user-Defined mini GUIs

☑ cool new feature
☐ could help many users!

☐ removes a "feels like bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it 

 

 

What inspired this wish list request?

If a user clicks on column/right click/new formula column/Transform/Scale Offset, a GUI pops up and ask the user for the parameters. 

After pressing OK, a new column is generated with the respective rescale parameters:

This is very useful.


But there is no possibility to add user defined mini,GUI, like a 

 column/right click/new formula column/Transform/Modulo shortcut to calculate Modulo the same way.

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Please provide a functionality to gererate mini GUIs such that a user can add slightly more complex functions to the column/right click/new formula column menu which need a GUI.

 

 

Why is this idea important?

There are many wishes for additional functions to be added to the Column/right click/new formula columns menu,
e.g. add modulo to the NewFormulaColumn menu  

@mia_stephens  suggested to generate the functionality on my own: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/add-modulo-to-the-NewFormulaColumn-menu/idc-p/594368/high...(unfortunately, without a hint how to do so).

There was also no feedback from the community how to do it:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/add-modulo-to-the-NewFormulaColumn-menu/idc-p/596340/high... 
So, I think that the needed functionality is missing.

 

With the possibility to generate user-defined mini-GUIs, users can add the functionality on their own and don't have to convince Jmp Dev Team to add the function.
