hello
I need help.
I'm using `msg.ui_control` to configure the label for the dropdown node, and every time `msg.ui_control` changes, I have to refresh the page for the label on the dashboard to update. Does anyone know how to automatically refresh the page when `msg.ui_control` changes?
I am using Node-RED V4.0.2, Dashboard version 3.6.5, Node.js version: v20.14.0.

From the sidebar help text
> Sending a blank tab name "" will refresh the current page. You can also send "+1" for next tab and "-1" for previous tab
So feeding a msg back into the ui\_control node should do what you want
But you should be able to update the dropdown without a refresh, can you supply a minimal flow showing the issue.

Thank you, but could you provide me with an example of that?

Read the help text for ui\_control node in sidebar and have a go, if you can not work it out, export your effort and i will correct it.
