Hello everyone,  
I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to fix this issue I'm having with a Table in Ignition Perspective.

Basically, when a row is selected (even though the property  
`props.selectedRow: null`)  
doesn't allow it to be selected further, you have to change the row, go back, and then reselect it.

I can't figure out how to clear this selection. When I first enter the view, no row is selected, and I’d like to understand which property would allow me to reset the situation to that initial state.

The trick is to set `enableRowSelection` to `False`, and have a change script on `selectedRow` looking for `None`, and then changing `enableRowSelection` back to `True`. The code must **not** set `enableRowSelection` to `False` when `selectedRow` is already `None`.

Basically, row selection can only be performed _reliably_ by the client browser. When you disable row selection, that state gets sent to the browser, and **it** clears the selection. When you see that change back in the gateway, you can re-enable row selection.
