v8.0.16

Using a script to add every row of data into the `props.selection.data` property does not actually change the visually selected rows. And its not possible to add rows incrementally.

Therefore its not possible to select everything in a table via scripting, which is useful for a “select all” button

Easy mock up:  
Throw this on a message handler on the table, then call the message from a button

```auto
for item in self.props.data:
	self.props.selection.data.append(item)

```
