Hello everyone, I am working on a project which requires working with tables and editing them. What I do is: - run a query and populate the table - run an update query to edit the data in the table - refresh the binding “props.data” If user scrolls down in the table and makes a change, then after refreshing the data binding the table scrolls all the way to the top. User has to go back to the position where he made the change. Is there a way to prevent that from happening or can I make the table scroll to the position of selected row? Thanks a lot Jakub ---

its not really possible, it requires js which isnt exposed in ignition (yet) there where some feautre requests about it but idk if its already done ---

Well that is very unfortunate. Can you think of any way around it? I was thinking not using refreshBinding after user edits a row. I might update only the edited row. If I know the index of the dictionary in the list I might run a SELECT for that row and then assign values returned as follows data[n] = {“row”:“items”}. The thing is, that table will be edited and viewed by multiple users at the same time and they would not see edits by other users in the real time. ---

Search the forum, here's one that may help, > [@Scroll scrollbar to position via script](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/scroll-scrollbar-to-position-via-script/15999): > > I've had a request from a customer to auto-scroll a template repeater to the previous scroll position as left at on the last page view. How would I go about doing this? Cheers! I do this quite often, scroll to a specific row. Let me know if you need more help, I can send the code I use tomorrow. Edit, failed to realize you are using perspective. ---

Yeah I was able to find a code that is used in Vision, nothing for Perspective so far. ---

you could make the table has no scroll and instead use pages i guess? ---

or you could create a component that does the js for you. if you are familiar with it its not that hard of a component id guess ---

I found out that if I set virtualized property to false, then it stops scrolling away after refreshing.
