[BUG]: Details List Default row not being selected when app loads

[KeithHR]

Describe the bug I have a details list in an embedded canvas app. I have set the RecordSelected property to true and have set input event to "SetSelection"&Text(Rand()) however when the app loads the row is not being selected by default.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add details list in embeded canvas app
2. Set RecordSelected field to true in 'Records' property in details list
3. Set input event to "SetSelection"&Text(Rand())
4. Play your MDA and open the embedded canvas app

Expected behavior Every record that has RecordSelected set to true should be selected when app loads

Hi @KeithHR, Is the detailsList prop SelectionType set to multiple?

Hi @denise-msft, I have tried to set it to multiple and it does work for either single or multiple. I would like to have one row in the list be selected by default when a user clicks on the tab to open the app(the list is located on the home screen). The problem seems to be that it will only register the default row if I navigate to a different screen and then navigate back to the home screen where the list is located.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by an embedded app? is this embedded in SharePoint, a model driven app as a component, as a custom page as part of a model driven app, or something else?

Also, regarding how the behavior works when you navigate back to the screen - where are you updating the collection, Screen.OnVisible? If you were to display the values of RecordSelected, would the correct values populate the table, and the event behavior is the only thing that's not working? Or are the values not getting updated in the collection on the first load? Is there a way you can please confirm the data is correct on first load?

• This is a canvas app that is embedded in a model driven app

• I have logic within the Records property of the Details List that will change an item to true which should trigger the row to be selected (so it is not a variable, just an IF statement to check each record). The Details List is located on the first screen. It seems like the value is not getting updated on the first load.

When I first select the tab that the canvas app is on:

While using the canvas the app, if I navigate back to the Details List:
