Does anyone know if there is an option in JMP Pro 17.2 to make the report from a data table highlight the same way as was done in JMP14?
Here is an image that shows JMP14 on the left, and JMP17 on the right -- selecting rows in the table on JMP17 obscures any cell coloring that the report had.
desired behavior from JMP14 (left) and incorrect behavior from JMP17 (right):

Here's the script I used:
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt:NAME << Color Cells( "Orange", 3 );
jmp_report = New Window( "Big Class",
<<SHOW menu=""></SHOW>
I hope I'm missing something, but I fear that it's just how JMP operates now.
Thanks for checking on JMP18 -- I was wondering about it. I need to see if I can request this feature in the next dot version of JMP18
You're using a data table box -- not a data table report.
I have replicated your findings in JMP 14 and JMP `17. JMP 18 has the same result as JMP 17.
