How to set Event System First Selected via script

Unity Engine
1

Just adding this in case it helps others. I wanted to select a specific item via script and while searching other topics lead me to use the following line when I pause my game, it would only work the first pause.

            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(PauseCanvasReloadCheckpointGO, null);

The solution was to null it out on unpause.

            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(null, null);

Now it correctly selects the pause menu Reload Checkpoint button every time the pause menu is brought up.

First selected via script will be added in a soon to be released patch release.
