Hello!

With particularly large tables that allow for record selection, it would be helpful if a user returning to the step that contains the table is brought to the page in the table that their selected record exists on.

To clarify, if I select a row in a table beyond the first page, proceed to the next step, and then have a reason to return, the step loads showing the first page of the table. Loading the step and showing the page on the table that the selected record is on would be really useful.

Hi @bklempa!

If I’m understanding correctly, I think you request here may be the same as @sebme’s here: [Make the interactive widget properly store state between re-renders](https://community.tulip.co/t/make-the-interactive-widget-properly-store-state-between-re-renders/12783)

If so, I will go ahead and merge these so we can track them together!

Hi Beth!

The post you linked is requesting the same feature yes! Thanks for pointing me over there, merging sounds great.
