☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it Name Selection in Columns from the Rows/Row Selection menu is great to define labels by selecting different subsets and writing the corresponding labels step by step into the same "label" column: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/manual-grouping-extended-version/td-p/540203 The current behaviour of the function is: a) just do something if the user entered a value [This feature enables the user to "collect" information by writing values again and again to the same column - without over-writing existing labels in other rows] b) If there is already a label in a selected row, it is replaced by the new label. This is the reason why the function can not be used for "multiple response" entries: A second response just replaces a first one. My wish: an option to append the entered string, if a selected row already contains a value: This will allow to collect "multiple response" entries like in the example below. best: a function that automatically handles the commas right (i.e. no comma for the first label). Additional useful options: - prepend text - search and delete text - search and replace text with another text ... dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
