Describe the bug
I have just upgraded to version 3.6.0 and it seems that it is no more possible to select the rows in a table (internal table).
Is it expected behaviour?

Expected behavior
Before we had the option to activate: Allow row selection on a table component.

BUDI-9166 Row selection unavailable since version 3.6.0

Easy and temporary fix.
Add an embed component in the page where the table is and add this code inside:

<style>
.grid .checkbox{
  display: block !important;
}
</style>

Oh great @filippobenozzi thank you for the workaround. It's working well. I also found that when I enable "delete rows", the checkboxes are back.

Hey. We deliberately removed the checkboxes if you have the table configured to prevent adding or removing rows, to keep it cleaner. We assume that if you can't add or edit rows then the checkboxes serve no purpose, but I'm now realising that you could potentially use the "selected rows" binding even with a readonly table.

Is it the selected rows binding that you're using here? Or what else do you use the checkboxes for if you've disable adding and removing rows?

I can easily add this back in if it's been an oversight on our part.

Hi @aptkingston,

not the one who opened this issue but wanted to add that the "Export Data" action also requires the option to select rows. I added the option to add rows for now so the checkbox becomes visible again, but that is not a function I want to have for that table.

Hello and thank you for looking at the problem. Actually yes it was for selected rows usage, as well as the 'Export data'. It could be good to have the checkboxes back again :)
Have a good day

Cool, no problem. I've linked a PR above which adds it back in 👍
