What do you mean by a "user selection"?

P.S Welcome to the community

As you are new there are limits on what you can do.

Which kind of doesn't help.

If you want certain things _set_ by default, you could `inject` them with the desired values.

Or, better still, use a `change` node to set the desired values and then tie all the `change` node inputs to one point and have an `inject` node there you click on to _reset_ them.

Ooh, we've not had that request before, so it hasn't yet been implemented. I'm curious to understand the wider use case? Are you using the table like a form?

This is not an uncommon requirement for tables. Most people use some kind of table library for this. I was always disappointed with all of the front-end frameworks I tried because none of them implement full table edit capabilities. They allow you to create them but they typically don't have them built in so you end up doing a lot of boilerplate code just to add some simple editing capabilities.

Something I'm slowly working towards with my own front-end HTML library.

I think most table libraries allow either a checkbox or row click to select a row which you can then further process. Think Excel and how it can be used.

The `@omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator` node is based on the `Tabulator` JS package, and as such supports row selection/deselection (either by clicking the row or sending select/deselect commands), as well a `getSelected` command.  
It also supports in-cell editing on the UI.
