“Select first item by default” vs manual selection – different condition behavior?

Hello dojo,

I've noticed what seems like inconsistent behavior and I'm wondering if this is expected.

Configuration :

 I have "Select first item by default" enabled in initial selection settings for a grid component

I have configured a "When Is selected" condition with a blue rectangle display in the template editor

Observed behavior:

  1. With "Select first item by default": the filter works correctly on my table, the first value is automatically selected
  2. With manual selection: the item turns blue as configured in "When Is selected"
  3. Issue: When I open my panel with default selection active, the filter works perfectly BUT the blue color doesn't appear, unlike with manual selection

Is there a technical difference between:

  • Automatic selection via "Select first item by default"
  • Manual selection by clicking

Would this difference explain why conditions (like "When Is selected") don't trigger with default selection? Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Alexandre,

Functionally, there's no difference between using "Select first item by default" and manually selecting a grid item.

The key difference is in how click actions behave. We treat selecting and clicking as separate concepts. So, if a grid item has any click-related actions configured, those won't trigger with the default selection, they only trigger when the item is manually clicked.

Please open a ticket in case the behavior you observe is different.
