Hello,

I have a "device manager" tab in the dashboard-ui where i create instances of subflows and add them to a flow using put /flow/:id  
After the http request, the dashboard tab changes to one of my other tabs randomly.  
Is there a way to change it back to the "device\_manager" tab after update? For instance utilizing the UI\_Control node in some way?

It seems the UI switched tabs due to the subflow instances creating new tabs on update which changed the tab numbers. So with tab 2 as manager, after update it became tab3, but UI was still displaying tab 2.
