Persist Selection

This property is used to indicate which event to merge regardless of the selected merge direction, left or right. By default, this property is set to false, which means, the direction of the merge dictates which event is retained. For example, if there are three events: A, B, and C, and you select event B and merge left, then A is retained; otherwise, C is retained. If this property is set to true, whether you merge left or right, event B is retained. To visualize these scenarios, see Merge widget representation.

This property is set only once per instance. If the property changes, the effect is visible only on the next merge action.

Example 1

var testData = true;

control.findByXmlNode("Widget2").widgetProperties.persistSelection = JSON.stringify(testData);

Example 2

var testData = false;

control.findByXmlNode("Widget2").widgetProperties.persistSelection = JSON.stringify(testData);
