Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there's a way to programmatically deselect all rows in the Alarm Status Table via scripting?

I've tried setting `active.data` to `None` and also to an empty list, but neither method worked.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Set the `props.selection.mode` to `none`. That will tell the browser, which will deselect everything. Use a property change event script on `props.selection.data` to detect when the list is cleared, and set the selection mode back to what it was.

(Check that something is selected before setting the mode to `none`.)

Variations of this technique apply to any of the Perspective components that allow row selection, fwiw.
