I have a table with multiple rows. When I click on a row in the designer the “selectedrow” property updates correctly. However, when I click on it in the client/staging the selected row does not update. It will only update if I click and drag on the target row. Is there a setting that I may be missing to get the correct functionality in the client?

Here are the settings that I have for the table:

For anyone that runs into this in the future, this ended up being caused by an incorrect type being used in the tables column attributes data. I was creating/initializing the column attributes dataset so that I could set the column sizes when the table loaded. When creating the dataset, I incorrectly put in “false” for the boolean values which was causing the column to be initialized as a string type instead of a boolean. I found the following errors in the client logs which while not directly helpful provided some clue to the issue:
