I wrote a simple script to select various components on my schematic.
The command for selection works, but does not update the attribute panel.
It is not clear what your post is about.
Are you telling us that you have written a script?
Are you asking for help in fixing the update attribute bug?
Please clarify and post a link to your script.
Here is the script I've going.
```
var result = api('getSource', {type:'json'}), id;
console.log(result);
var ids = [];
for (id in result.schlib)
{
if(result.schlib.hasOwnProperty(id)){
var object = result.schlib[id].annotation;
var subObject = Object.keys(object)[0];
var objectString = object[subObject].string;
if(objectString == "MX-ALPS-1U" )
{
ids.push(id);
}
}
}
console.log(ids);
api('select', {ids:ids});
```
The script works, it selects all the symbols with the MX-ALPS-1U name. But the right attribute panel does not update. EasyEda did not see that the selection has been updated.
@wolfvanh Hello ;
Probably you need to insert the Selection API in your second if statement, means as follow :
```
var result = api('getSource', {type:'json'}), id;
console.log(result);
var ids = [];
for (id in result.schlib)
{
if(result.schlib.hasOwnProperty(id)){
var object = result.schlib[id].annotation;
var subObject = Object.keys(object)[0];
var objectString = object[subObject].string;
if(objectString == "MX-ALPS-1U" )
{
api('select', {ids:[id]});
ids.push(id);
}
}
}
console.log(ids);
```

The goal of the script was to select all symbols with the name MX-ALPS-1U.
The code I've provided does work. However the attribute panel does not update ( property panel ) with the new selection.
EasyEda still thinks there are no objects selected.
@wolfvanh Regarding the API guideline, to select objects you need to use the following instruction :
```
api('select')
```
I didn't saw it in your program that's why I advised you to try :)
@andyfierman
Yes I tried it, but the behavior is identical. It selects the symbol in the schematic, but the selection options do not update.
@JLCPCBsupport
It was there, the very last line. But thank you to make sure I understood.
I've made a video to better highlight my the issue I'm facing:
