In my flow, the "Manual Startup" inject node is only if I want to start the flow manually. It doesn't do anything otherwise. The ui_control node is the one that actually starts the flow when the user starts the dashboard ui. Hope that helps
The flow shown above also does a refresh when the user changes tabs. Here is the flow:
