I have a legacy table in one of my apps. There is an action button on the left hand side. My users have the option to select multiple rows if they so choose.
In the legacy table, they can simply click on the row to select it. In the new table, it seems that I am forced to use a check box. Is there a way to set up the new table so that I don't need to use the check box to select/deselect a row?
I am looking to switch tables, because I am experiencing some strange behavior with my action button and I am hoping moving to the new table component will help clear that up.
Thank you for the details, I completely understand the usefulness of having users be able to select an entire row by clicking anywhere on the row instead of having to click the check box column on the left side.
There is an option on the new table to add in 'Row Actions' as I believe that there are also 'cell actions' (which were the reason for the change, as it could get confusing trying to select a cell and selecting the whole row instead on click)
However, from the testing when I took the screen shot, you would have to find a way to pass in the row number to the .selectRow function, as by default if you call this function without any arguments it will only select the first row.
I was going to file a feature request to make this easier to do for row actions as that would meet the use case needs you described. So I will do that and keep you updated on anything I hear from the team related to either adding in functionality or using the 'row action' run script from my screenshot to achieve that you want
