Unable to Create Empty Named Selection #2059

🐞 Description of the bug
When I call design.create_named_selection("name"), the only required input is a name. Server-side this throws an error as it expects at least one member. We need to put a check in place or allow for empty named selections server-side.
📝 Steps to reproduce
selection = design.create_named_selection("MySelection")
