Hi, I’m trying to select multiple rows from a table in perspective trough scripting. Is there a way to do this? Using selection.selectColumn and selection.selectRow only one row seems to be selected. So I tried to write the objects in selection.data to select multiple rows, but this seems not be doing what I need it to do.

Is there any information or progress?  
I also have this kind of need.  
When I set objects and selected row it seems to work in some way but not quite
