Adding & removing a selection

[cceyda]

From the example codes I see you can add a selection using select_and_plot:

scatterplot.select_and_plot({name: name, ids: select_ids, idField: id_column})

Which then adds a boolean column with the given name.

But I'm having trouble deleting this column afterwards
I have tried scatterplot.dataset.delete_column_if_exists(name) which just crashes without error (I couldn't debug it)

Also tried modifying the selection using.
selection.addPoints(name,select_ids_bigint) (where selection is a DataSelection type)
but this errors out saying name column already exists.

Is there a better way to do selections using transformation stuff directly?
