What inspired this wish list request?
In Graph Builder, users can add labels in various ways: individual labels for points and lines, as well as labels for bar, mosaic and heatmap charts.
However, all of these refer to the same 'label' tag in the data table.
IF a column is tagged, it will be used as a label
- in all plots with activated labels !!!

- in all subplots with activated labels !!!
Graph Builder - Different "label by row" for different graph elements in same chart
In the specific plot, the user can just disable and enable labels, but the user cannot enable and disable specific columns.
Therefore there is a severe lack of possibilities and many collisions between the settings for plots an subplots!
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Advanced Label control per plot and plot type:
Think of Color - give us the same for Labels!
Why is this idea important?
Label control in JMP19: One can argue that it's not a bug. But often it feels like a bug- and missing features.
With the new framework, JMP will get a new flexibility which will allow the generation of plots which were not possible before.
other wishes from 
This post was based on the idea:
use the existing Label tag for Columns (Column property) and give the user the ability to deactivate a columns for a specific plot via the variables checkbox.
Related, but slightly different: a Label Drop Zone, as it is mentioned by @BHarris in this post:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/how-to-generate-this-graph-in-Graph-Builder/m-p/910448/highlight/true#M106946
the original proposal was focused on label control "for Columns" - which content?
Besides this, please also add Label control for Rows:
- checkmarks on the left: which information to display
- checkmarks on the right: which column is the selector for the rows?
Huge benefit compared to the current approach:
with a Column Formula, the Labels get interactive - if values change in the data table, the column formula will guarantee that
e.g. "the top 1% of data points" are labeled.
before: static tags for specific rows.
Most naturally, the selector column will be a transform column which is just generated for the specific plot.
Thank you for taking the time to submit this request!
