Hi all,
In our implementation we have multiple dashboard tabs. We deliberately hide the sidebar menu and navigate to the required tabs via their direct URL (:1880/ui/#!/).
This works well, however whenever we update or restart the flows, all open dashboard tabs in the browsers reconnect and move back to the default tab (id=0), which is annoying.
Is there a way to avoid this and retain the selected dashboard tabs upon flow restart?
