as we have a workaround for Tables/Update, this one is no longer needed
What inspired this wish list request?
Tables/Join is a powerful tool to merge different data tables.
The only disadvantage: it generates a new data table instead of updating the main table.
I often have a table, with table dozens of table scripts which evolved over time - and Dashboards which refer to this table.
To widen the analysis, I want to add a column to the table - but Tables/Join generates a new table.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Please add an option in Tables/Join: Update main table.
If the option is enabled, the platform should update the main table instead of generating a new one.
If Jmp developers fear that Tables:Join gets too crowded by this option, they could hide the option behind a shift-click or invisible to other users.
Why is this idea important?
There is no fast way to merge new columns to a data table.
Table/Join is almost the perfect tool - but it generates a new table.
The additional setting will solve the issue.
