I want to hide a bulk action in a Data Grid `<c8y-data-grid>` with the [following code](https://github.com/Cumulocity-IoT/cumulocity-dynamic-mapper/blob/78ef7ff25721da72abb36474b94cc4a1b6038373/dynamic-mapping-ui/src/mapping/grid/mapping.component.ts#L264) in my component:

```auto
    this.bulkActionControls = [
      {
        type: BuiltInActionType.Delete,
        callback: this.deleteMappingBulkWithConfirmation.bind(this),
        showIf: (selectedItemIds) => {
			const result = true;
			// depending on selected ids hide the bulkDelete
            console.log('Selected mappings (showIf):', selectedItemIds);
            return result;
        }
]

```

I only see the console output once as:  
`Selected mappings (showIf): undefined`.  
It is not printed every time I select a row (mapping)

I would expect, that every time I select/deselect a row I see the console output:  
`Selected mappings (showIf): ['5001', '5002','5003'].`

Version:  
“@c8y/ngx-components”: “1020.26.2”

I tested the same with a simpler sample in the tutorial app and it didn’t work either.

Regards Christof

Hi Christof,

Passing IDs of selected row items to the `showIf` function of bulk action controls is not yet released in the version you mentioned. It will soon get released in one of the next 1020.x.x versions.

Cheers,  
Bozhidar
