How can I make specific rows unselectable in a custom Magento 2 admin UI grid?

Question

I'm working with Magento 2 and I need to configure an admin UI grid so that some rows cannot be selected via the checkbox column (i.e., they're unselectable in mass actions).

Is there a recommended way to make individual rows unselectable based on custom conditions or data in the row itself?

For example, I might want to flag some rows as non-actionable or protected, and prevent the user from selecting them via the mass action checkbox.

I'm using a custom UI grid defined via listing XML, with a block like this:

<selectionsColumn name="ids" sortOrder="10">
 <settings>
 <indexField>id</indexField>
 <dataType>select</dataType>
 </settings>
</selectionsColumn>

The grid uses a custom DataProvider that returns an array of items like this:

[
 'totalRecords' => $totalRecords,
 'items' => $pagedItems
];

Any guidance or best practices for achieving this in Magento 2 would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

maybe you can filter out that data after mass action so it will skip those rows, in any case you are hardcoding something. I would probably think about if I really need to have this or is there any other way to follow.

• Ruben Eekhof: Preferably each row would have a button that you can use to lock and unlock that specific row. You also still need to see the data.
