Losing selected item when navigating to record

[johnvtroy]

Context

When you select a record and then navigate to a record and then use the go back button you lose the check mark on the selected item. Also, if you had scrolled to the bottom of a long list it also sends you back to the top of the page after you go back. Is there any way that this context could be saved when navigating to a record?

can this be reopened?

Hey @johnvtroy.
Yes, we can reopen it.

This is a more advanced feature where we need to store the selection somewhere. My guess is that we need to store it in localstorage and reselect the items when the page is loaded.
Another place could be in session but that's not the usecase that I think our users need.

That being said, this requires a bit more attention which we don't yet have right now.

So there are two ways of dealing with this:

1. You can submit a PR and we can put it thorugh the approval process
2. If this is something critical for your experience, we can set up a call and figure out a way for you to sponsor this feature and we can find some time to work on it.

Either way, thanks for sending in this PR. It's a great feature to have.
