I'm trying to show a view of a column that stores text in a text box next to a table. I want the textbox to show the description based on the row the user selects.

I figured it out. You have to do {{batchTable.selectedRow.data[‘0’].batch_description}} . My question now is how do I prevent an error if none are selected and I just want the textbox to be blank?
