There are some cases where DisplayBox Subscripting like 

current report()["Summary Statistics"]

gives surprising results. Which information is accessed via the string?

 

In this example,

JMP doesn't find the first Local Data Filter -- maybe: because it's title is changed to "LDF"?

JMP finds the first summary statistics - although it's title is changed to "statistics".

 

 

 

I first noticed this behavior with a Graph Builder outline box. JMP finds it even when the title is changed.
At the time, I thought JMP was looking for the @helpKey - and that is why it can still find it.

But Summary Statistics (in the example here) doesn't have a helpKey.

So JMP finds something that is not visible to the user.

And it won't find it if it's a local data filter...

 

 

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New Window( "test",
	V Splitter Box(

		Distribution(
			Continuous Distribution(
				Column( :height )
			),
			Local Data Filter(Title( "LDF" )  ),
				Local Data Filter,
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "Distributions", OutlineBox, {Set Title( "hello" )} ),
				Dispatch( {"height"}, "Summary Statistics", OutlineBox,
			{Set Title( "statistics" )}
		)
	)
		),

		Distribution(
			Continuous Distribution(
				Column( :height )
			),
			Local Data Filter(  )
		)
	)
);


current report()["Local Data Filter"] << select();
//current report()["Distributions"] << select();
current report()["Summary Statistics"] << select();
