[BUG]: DetailsList Selected property not blanked when removing selected record

[e-gallis]

Describe the bug
After removing a selected record from the list's records, the Selected property still holds the data of the deleted record.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a DetailsList control to the screen
2. Provide the control with a set of records through a collection
3. Add a button on the screen with a piece of code to remove the selected record from the collection
4. The record is removed from the list but the Selected property still holds the deleted record

Expected behavior
The Selected property should be cleared if the currently selected record is removed from the list (that is, when no records are selected)

Anyone with any idea on how to workaround this issue meanwhile?

@e-gallis would it work to update the collection to 'reset' after deletion by selecting the first item in the list instead of clearing out? Have you tried that scenario, or would there be any reason why that is inappropriate for your workflow?

Hi @denise-msft,
Indeed this would be inappropriate. Here is my scenario:

• I have a DetailsList component listing a set of records from a collection
• The application allows me to delete a selected record
• After the record has been removed from the collection there should be no more record selected -> therefore I expect the Selected property to be blank
  You can find the same behavior on Microsoft Lists: deleting an item does not select the first item in the list after deletion. There is just no other item selected.
  I expect the same from the DetailsList component. Well, I suppose it is a "standard behavior" throughout web applications in general.
  Hope this helps... 😉
