I hope following code fragments helps you in saving code fragments.

/*Local variable declaration*/
...
local!selectedMappingId: tointeger({}),
...

/*To save a selected row id in the readonly grid*/
...
          selectionValue: local!selectedMappingId,
          selectionSaveInto: {
            a!save(
              local!selectedMappingId,
              save!value
            )
          }
...

/*To save the complete selected row and selected row id*/
...
          selectionValue: local!selectedMappingId,
          selectionSaveInto: {
            a!save(
              local!selectedRow,
                fv!selectedRows
            )
          }

...

/*To check whether the id is in the selected list. The usage of this varies on  your scenario */
...
wherecontains(sav!value,local!selectedMappingId)
...

ShowWhen will show/hide the whole column but not individual fields.

Hi Saahil Mulla,

You should be applying the condition in the 'value' parameter, not in the 'showWhen' parameter to show value based on the selection.

a!gridColumn(
  label: "DOA",
  sortField: "DOA",
  value: if(
    contains(ri!selectionList, fv!row.PRN),
    fv!row.DOA,
    "Hidden"   /*Instruction text as per your preference*/
  ),
  align: "END"
)

The 'showWhen' part can be configured based on the selection if needed for your requirement.

a!gridColumn(
label: "DOA",
sortField: "DOA",
value: fv!row.DOA,
showWhen: /*fv!row does not have scope here */ ,
align: "END"

)

This is the column that needs to be displayed for the selected row. But under showWhen fv!row cannot be used.

the primary key is PRN, fv!row.PRN

Would need to see at least some code snippets. What is the field name of your primary key? That must be used in contains().

Hi Stefan, actually in a paging grid, for data as a data subset, the data subset identifier gets stored as the selection value.

I have a date column, which is initially not visible. But as soon as a row is selected the entire date column becomes visible and not only the specific row date. Any idea?

Documentation says that the grid stores the ID.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/read-only-grid-configuration.html#selection

Something like this should do it. Copied you snippet.

not(contains(ri!selectionList,fv!row.id))
