How do I determine if a row has been selected?

Summary

A warning-and-modal flow isn't working because the code checks table1.selectedRow?.data to determine whether a table row has been selected, but that expression never returns a value.

AI Response

In the current Table component, selectedRow returns the selected row's data object directly and is null/undefined when nothing is selected — there is no nested .data sub-property (that structure belonged to the classic Table component). Referencing table1.selectedRow?.data therefore always yields undefined, so the empty-selection branch never behaves as intended. Reference the row directly instead and test it for null, e.g. const row = table1.selectedRow; if (!row) { utils.showNotification({ title: 'No patient selected', description: 'Please select a patient from the table first.', notificationType: 'warning' }); } else { modalFrame3.show(); }. Confirm the exact shape by inspecting table1.selectedRow in the state/left panel while a row is and isn't selected.
