Preserve the selected grid value when a row is double-clicked.

Although if I am putting the logic in selectionSaveInto, I am not able to ignore the parameter selectionValue and its by default passing the selected row on single click and in double click, its passing null.

As per good design practice number of clicks should be reduced for good UX. I would suggest to have single click selection instead of double (read 2 single) clicks as they are more user friendly.

There is no double-click in Appian. You could do a "very slow two clicks" thingy, but I am pretty sure this does not meet your users expectations.

SelectionValue is read-only - it only displays the current selection state. You can't use it to force selections. When a user deselects, Appian clears the selection internally and your conditional logic in selectionValue won't override this.

Use selectionSaveInto to detect the double-click pattern:

selectionSaveInto: {
  a!save(ri!selected, save!value),
  if(
    and(
      length(save!value) = 0,  /* Deselected */
      length(fv!deselectedRows) = 1,  /* Single row deselected */
      fv!deselectedRows[1] = local!lastSelectedRow  /* Same row */
    ),
    /* Trigger double-click action */
    a!save(local!doubleClickedRow, fv!deselectedRows[1]),
    a!save(local!lastSelectedRow, fv!selectedRows[1])
  )
}
