Select Q-table row programatically

[CWoodman]

Is there a way to programatically select/unselect Q-table rows? Note: I’m using a table without checkboxes - clicking on a row highlights the entire row.
Here’s my code:

      class="my-tickets-table"
      :pagination.sync="pagination"
      hide-bottom
      :data="ticketList"
      :columns="columns"
      selection="single"
      row-key="ticket_number"
      :selected.sync="selected"
      :loading="loading"
    >
      <template v-slot:header="props">
        <q-tr :props="props">
          <q-th v-for="col in props.cols" :key="col.name" :props="props">
            {{ col.label }}
          </q-th>
        </q-tr>
      </template>

      <template v-slot:body="props">
        <q-tr class="cursor-pointer" :props="props"
          @click.native="selectRow(props.row, props.row.ticket_number, $event)">
          <q-td v-for="col in props.cols" :key="col.name" :props="props">
            {{ col.value }}
          </q-td>
        </q-tr>
      </template>
    </q-table>

methods: {
    selectRow (row, ticketNumber, event) {
      // Warn user if currently displayed ticket has been updated and not saved
      if (this.ticketChanged) {
        if (!confirm('You have not saved changes. Do you want to continue anyway?')) {
          // If user cancels the selection, stay put
          event.preventDefault()
          return false
        }
      }
      // Getting another ticket will forget changes if any
      // Switch selection so row will be highlighted
      this.selected = []
      this.selected.push(row)
      this.$store.commit('SET_SELECTED_TICKET', ticketNumber)
      this.$store.dispatch('getTicket', ticketNumber)
    }

@CWoodman the selected array should contain the row key, not the entire row.
I would make :

selectRow (row, ticketNumber, event) {
      // Warn user if currently displayed ticket has been updated and not saved
      if (this.ticketChanged) {
        if (!confirm('You have not saved changes. Do you want to continue anyway?')) {
          // If user cancels the selection, stay put
          event.preventDefault()
          return false
        }
      }
      // Getting another ticket will forget changes if any
      // Switch selection so row will be highlighted

      this.selected = [ ticketNumber ] // <-- Use row key = ticket number. No need to create an empty array and push the value though :)

      this.$store.commit('SET_SELECTED_TICKET', ticketNumber)
      this.$store.dispatch('getTicket', ticketNumber)
    }
