Scripting Index and online Help: "see also"

[hogi]

☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☑ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

The scripting index is a great source of knowledge and the examples are very useful to understand what the functions do and how they can be used (with some code context around the actual function).

On the other hand, for a user who wants to find a function for a specific application, the functionality of Scripting Index feels a bit like:
If you don't know the correct function name, I cannot give you the correct info.

With some more "links" between the entries, a user can be guided through the Scripting Index and finally get to the function that he wants.

-> Please add fill "see also" with more alternatives along the idea:
What possible confusions could have led users to search this function?

e.g. there should be a link between Length/NItems  and  NRow/Dim

examples:

https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Length.html

Hi @hogi, thank you for your suggestion! We have captured your request and will take it under consideration.

Head & HeadName are missing in  NArg

NArg is missing in Head and HeadName

At the moment the Search function in the Scripting Index just shows a result if there is a matching JSL function.

Could it be beneficial if there were also results like:

"such a function is not available in JMP, it's a function in [Matlab, Python, C++],

I guess that you searched for:

Somewhat related: search for "Bezier" in the index turns up nothing. There are a number of "Bézier", but I have no idea how to enter that letter with the extra diacritical mark on a US keyboard, or that I need to.

The request: make the search function insensitive to diacritical marks.

The JMP help is similar; there is one instance of Bezier, somehow spelled differently from the others.

explain optional arguments of functions.

e.g. What does the option "Update Properties" mean?

[jthi]

Scripting Guide > Data Tables > Work with Columns > Recode Columns 

If the Update Properties argument is turned on, the following column properties are updated when a column is recoded: Value Labels, Value Scores, Value Order, Value Colors, Supercategories, Coding, and Missing Value Codes.

Thanks @jthi 
Direct answer to my question.

Somehow indirect answer: "The scripting Index doesn't show such details -> go to the Scripting Guide"

But how to get to the right page in the Scripting Guide from the Scripting Index?!?

one could use the button  "Topic Help"

- but it's grey for Recode columns.
