DataTable: "id is a special hidden column that can be used as an alternative to row_index"?

From Dash Documentation & User Guide | Plotly

  • id is a special hidden column that can be used as an alternative to row_index for highlighting data by index. Since each row has a unique id , the conditional formatting associated with this id will remain associated with that data after sorting and filtering.

This would make things so much simpler, but when I tried to use “id” as an alternative to “row_index” it failed with this message:

Failed component prop type: Invalid component prop `style_data_conditional[0].if` key `id` supplied to DataTable.
Bad object: {
  "column_id": "X13",
  "id": "S000000"
}
Valid keys: [
  "column_id",
  "column_type",
  "filter_query",
  "state",
  "row_index",
  "column_editable"
]

My table does have a column with ‘id’ as the key. How do I use conditional styles based on the row id rather than the row index?
