Use Publish Data object to click Attribute Table widget buttons

Greetings! Not a question, but thought I would share something I figured out.

I wanted to click the Export selected to CSV & Clear selection buttons in the Attribute Table widget, within various points in my Workflow.

To do this I modified the Attribute Table’s Widget.js file to look like below:

            onReceiveData: function(name, source, params) {

                /*jshint unused:vars*/

                if (params && params.target === "AttributeTable") {

                    if (this._isOnlyTable()) {

                        if (this.state === 'closed') {

                            console.warn('Please open Attribute Table!');

                            return;

                        }

                    }

                    params.layer = params.layer || params.layerInfo;

                    params.closeable = true;

                    params.isActive = true;

                    if (!this.showing) {

                        this._openTable().then(lang.hitch(this, function() {

                            var isInResources = !!this._resourceManager.getLayerInfoById(params.layer.id);

                            if (!isInResources) {

                                this._resourceManager.updateLayerInfoResources(false)

                                    .then(lang.hitch(this, function() {

                                        this._addLayerToTable(params);

                                    }));

                            } else {

                                this._addLayerToTable(params);

                            }

                        }));

                    } else {

                        this._resourceManager.updateLayerInfoResources(false)

                            .then(lang.hitch(this, function() {

                                this._addLayerToTable(params);

                            }));

                    }

                }

                //CUSTOM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                else if (name == "WorkflowRunner_Panel") {

                    if (params.action && params.action === "onExportCSVClickAT") {

                        this._activeTable.onExportCSVClick();

                        console.log('Log: Success! Exported selected parcels!');

                    } else if (params.action && params.action === "onSelectionClearAT") {

                        var btnClearSelection = document.getElementById("dijit_form_Button_1_label");

                        btnClearSelection.click();

                        console.log('Log: Success! Cleared selected parcels!');

                    }

                }

                // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            },

Then when I wanted to click the Export selected to CSV button, I added the Publish Data object in my workflow with the Data set as:  ={ action: "onExportCSVClickAT" }

And when I wanted to click the Clear selection button, I added the Publish Data object in my workflow with the Data set as: ={ action: "onSelectionClearAT" }

Hopefully this saves y'all some time! Happy Monday!
