Why is this code selecting the top level outline box and not the requested one?

I was playing along with a Discovery Summit video on interacting with Report layer objects and came to a crashing halt on my very first example I tired.

 

Here I am trying to select the Correlation outline box but this ends up selecting the entire Multivariate analysis.  I've tried a couple of different approaches and can't get it work out so humbling asking for some input!

 

 

dt=Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );


dt<<Multivariate(
	Y( :height, :weight ),
	Variance Estimation( "Row-wise" ),
	Scatterplot Matrix( 1 )
);

obj=Current Report()["Multivariate"]<< get scriptable object;

obj<< XPath("//OutlineBox[text()='Correlations']")<<select;

Want this:

 

 

Getting this:

 

Thanks!

You got it right, but your attempt to double-check was misleading : )

 

To select the outline boxes which are returned by the Xpath command, use:

(obj<< XPath("//OutlineBox[text()='Correlations']"))<<select;

 

Without the  additional brackets, you will send the select command to obj.
like in 

Data Table( "Height" ) << Clear Select << Select Rows( [4] ) << Delete Rows;
