message: get original data table() ... for linked summary and subset tables

☐ cool new feature
☐ could help many users!

☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“

☑ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

What inspired this wish list request? 

For linked data tables (either summary tables or linked subsets),  a click on 

will take me to the original data table.

This is very convenient. Great that JMP is willing to share this knowledge.

Unfortunately, there is no corresponding functionality available via JSL - to get from a linked summary table or subset table to the main table.

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

For reports, one can use the message << get data table()t o get a reference for the data table.

For linked summary tables and subset tables, please provide a corresponding message to get a reference of the original data table.

Why is this idea important? 

Just imagine how often you generate a report from a summary table - and then face the difficulty how to save the script.
Actually, it's just a combination of 

a) the source script for the summary table

b) the source script of the report
... but it requires ~ 20 mouse clicks to save the combined script to the main table.

If there is a way to get the main table - all this could be triggered by a single click on a toolbar.
cool, right?

Besides this hand-made function.
For Reports which are generated from a Subset or Summary data table, please add a new function Save Script / To Main Data Table.
It should combine the source script of the linked subset/summary data table AND the source script of the report [plus maybe some additional changes from the enhanced log?]

better name for the new function:

get original data table()
... as suggested by @jthi: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/get-main-data-table/m-p/774435/highlight/true#M95621

I agree: there are other wishes with more impact :)
