close all like this user-defined outlines

Hello, I'm trying to replicate the behavior of <

From the scripting index:

Syntax: obj << Close All Like This

Description: Closes this Outline Box and all Outline Boxes in the display tree with the same original title or help key.

If I inspect a JMP Platform (Fit Least Square) with Show Tree Structure, I do see HelpKey=FitLS etc.. and in fact these outlines respond to ctrl-close/open or to close all like this. 

 

Automation and ScriptingRe: <

To my knowledge you cannot add custom properties such as helpKey to display boxes (I have asked this from developers). 

Re: close all like this user-defined outlines

For the case where the title of the outline boxes are the same, this approach might work:

(Report( obj ) << XPath( "//OutlineBox[text()='Name']")) << Close( 1 );

 This approach could be extended to cases where the match is not exact.

Re: <

Is there a wish list item for this?  

Re: <

This is one of the places where I would maybe even consider creating JMP Class. You could also collect the references and just close them normally.

Re: <

I don't remember that I would have created one. I have told about the wish to developers in JMP Discovery Summits and maybe shared it in some EA feedback.
