value label: add "apply and remove"

What inspired this wish list request? 

Sometimes a user wants to replace values of a column with  the value labels,

("apply" the value labels to the column and remove the value column label property).

For Formula column, the user can click on Remove - then the values stay as they are - and the formula is removed.

 

If the user clicks on Remove to remove the  Value Label Properties, the values jump back to their original values - and just the replacement rule is removed.

This behavior makes sense - but sometimes a user wishes the Remove button behaved like the Remove column formula button.

 

One example: 

to get the possibility to change individual entries of the column (via Recode, for a subset).

 

An experienced user knows that deep in the Recode menu there is a function Replace values with value labels:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/quot-apply-quot-value-labels/m-p/628420/highlight/true#M826... 

Without this experience a user can search a long time - without finding the function ...

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Provide Replace values with value labels (apply + Remove) directly in the Column menu:

Why is this idea important?

It's not important.
