[AnalyticalTable]: Inconsistent selection behavior

[Na1k]

Describe the bug

The selection of rows / subrows feels inconsistent. If the hook useIndeterminateRowSelection (Documentation) is used:

• you are able to select all children
• this DOES NOT select the parent row but visually it looks like the row is selected
• if you then de-select a child and re-select it again
• this time the parent row is actually selected - but it looks completely the same as in the second step

It should be visible that in some cases the parent row is selected or is not selected. It should never be possible that a user cannot deviate between selected and unselected.
From my point of view, there should not be a blueish background if the row is not selected. Just like it is the case if not all children are selected.
In that case, the checkbox displays the square and the row is not highlighted.

There is a similar issue for the default behavior.

If you select all children, the parent will be displayed as if it was selected. But only when you actively click on it, it will actually be selected.
For a user, that is irritating - "It appears that the row is selected, why doesn't it deselect the first time I click on it?"

Hi @Na1k

There are currently no design or UX specifications for this function. Unfortunately, we overlooked this hook when outlining the features that have limitations or are not backed by design. The linked PR will address this and add the missing information.

As our process has changed since this hook was implemented, only SAP UX–compliant features and components should be developed. Therefore, this feature (indeterminate rows for tree-tables) needs to be approved by the corresponding team.

To proceed, this request needs to go through the Inner Source process and be synchronized with the SAP Central Design team first. Please raise a BLI with the central design team and include the ticket number here for reference. The respective SAP UI5 component is the sap.ui.table.TreeTable.
