What inspired this wish list request?
During script debugging, I often want to look into a for loop and execute the code step by step for one of the items.
Most interesting: start the loop with the last value [e.g. after a failure]
All parameters are already set by the last run, just the looping parameter is missing. This is why most of my for loops look like this:
For Each( {mydt}, openTables,
// mydt = openTables[13]the disabled code can be executed to set the looping parameter for debugging.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Please add a command to the right click context menu:
[edit] plan B: Just copy the behavior of the for() loop:
make the looping parameter accessible from outside the loop.
-> if the code stops, the looping parameter is the last one in the cycle.
-> great for debugging
Why is this idea important?
It's not important, but every *) JSL coder will love you.
more wishes by 
*) maybe there was a reason to change the behavior.
So: maybe not every JSL coder is happy to see the old (deprecated?) behavior.
half a year and just 2 Kudos.
@Sarah-Sylvestre , could you please archive this wish : )

low prio -> can be closed and reactivated once the important ones are finished.

Ah, now I got it!
It's a disadvantage of the For each loop!
Python:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for x in fruits:
print(x)
print("__")
print(x)-> works
JSL # 1: for() loop:
Names default to here(1);
for(i=1,i<3,i++, 1);
Print(i);
-> works
JSL #2: for each() loop
Names default to here(1);
for each({j}, 1::10,Print(j));
Print(j);-> fails : j is not defined outside of the for each() loop
-> makes it difficult to debug the code
