Hello everyone, When I change the “SelectedRow” in the perspective table component, the scroll bar does not move to the selected row location. Below is the video. Any idea how this can be fixed? Thank you!

This isn't something you can directly do currently, though it's a feature on our backlog: > [@\[Feature-789\] Perspective component extensibility](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-789-perspective-component-extensibility/29459/6): > > We would probably have to expose an internal like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView via a scripting method - first on components directly, then for something like the table it would have to have an ability to pass a specific row ID or something similar. That’s a decent feature request, though - I’ll file an internal ticket slight_smile ---

If I want to do this indirectly, what would be the best method to do it? Should I use the Property change script on “SelectedRow”? Not sure how to command the scroll bar to move to the selected row location. Do we even have any command for the scroll bar itself? I know there is one for vision but could not find any for perspective. ---

Nope, that’s exactly what I requested for. They need to expose the JavaScript function to scroll to position. It’s not possible to do now and there is no workaround like you can in Vision where you could manipulate the backend Java objects ---

You can use the Markdown component to inject JS to do this for the time being. [Perspective table cell question - #3 by victordcq](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-table-cell-question/78112/3) Note: the table should be set to non-virtualised for this to work properly ---

In the next version of Periscope, you'll be able to do this by calling `runJavaScript` from a script/message handler on the Table component. ```python args = { 'rowIndex': 10 # the row to scroll to } system.perspective.runJavaScriptAsync('''(rowIndex) => { const { component } = perspective.context const row = component.element?.querySelector(`[data-row-index="${rowIndex}"]`) row?.scrollIntoView({ block: 'center', behavior: 'smooth' }) }''', args) ``` Basically the `self` reference in the scripting frame will be detected, and the corresponding client `ComponentModel` will be exposed as `perspective.context.component` in your JavaScript function. _...coming soon..._ > > > Include \`view\` and \`component\` context information in \`runJavaScript\` calls.
