Form Submission vs SessionState

Using Streamlit
1

Is it possible to have dynamic changing of inputs within a form? The blog post on forms says

“Also by definition, interdependent widgets within a form are unlikely to be particularly useful. If you pass the output of widget1 into the input for widget2 inside a form, then widget2 will only update to widget1 's value when the form is submitted.”

Consider the following app example that has a toggle button for the checkboxes and updates days based on month. I implemented the usage I want using st.session_state. My understanding is that this functionality in forms is not yet possible. Is that true? Would definitely make for cleaner code if it is possible. Thank you!

import streamlit as st

## Form Submission
st.header('Form Based Submission')
with st.form(key = 'Form Based Submission'):
    birth_month = st.selectbox('Your Birth Month',['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'])
    last_day = 31 if birth_month in ['Jan','Mar','May','Jul','Aug','Oct','Dec'] else 30
    last_day = 29 if birth_month == 'Feb' else last_day
    birth_day = st.selectbox('Your Birth Day', reversed(range(1,last_day+1)))

    toggle = st.checkbox('Toggle All')
    vanilla = st.checkbox('Do you like vanilla iceacream?', value = toggle)
    chocolate = st.checkbox('Do you like chocolate icecream?', value = toggle)
    mint = st.checkbox('Do you like mint icecream?', value = toggle)

    output = {'Month':birth_month,'Day':birth_day,'Vanilla':vanilla,'Chocolate':chocolate,'Mint':mint}
    submit = st.form_submit_button(label = 'Submit')

if submit:
    st.write('You Form Submitted!')
    st.write(output)


## Session State Based Submission
if 'output' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state['output'] = {}

if 'submitted' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state['submitted'] = False

st.header('Session State Based Submission')
birth_month = st.selectbox('Your Birth Month',['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'],key='0')
last_day = 31 if birth_month in ['Jan','Mar','May','Jul','Aug','Oct','Dec'] else 30
last_day = 29 if birth_month == 'Feb' else last_day
birth_day = st.selectbox('Your Birth Day', reversed(range(1,last_day+1)),key='1')

toggle = st.checkbox('Toggle All',key = '5')
vanilla = st.checkbox('Do you like vanilla iceacream?', value = toggle, key='2')
chocolate = st.checkbox('Do you like chocolate icecream?', value = toggle, key='3')
mint = st.checkbox('Do you like mint icecream?', value = toggle, key =' 4')

submit = st.button('Submit', key = '6')
if submit:
    st.session_state['submitted'] = True
    st.session_state['output'] = {'Month':birth_month,'Day':birth_day,'Vanilla':vanilla,'Chocolate':chocolate,'Mint':mint}

if st.session_state['submitted']:
    st.write('You Session State Submitted!')
    st.write(st.session_state['output'])

I need to redirect the output of one form to another?

My usecase:
User upload a dataset using st.file_uploader, selects a delimiter using a dropdown i.e. st.selectbox, I set a custom function for submission (i.e. set func for “on_click” parameter , inside st.form_submit_button)

The custom function needs to compute and display the data profile—using pandas profiling

i.e. st_profile_report(profile)

So far so good. But this function should also output a st.selectbox— with values as the column names of the uploaded dataset!

i.e. Once a form submit which contains a file uploader. I need another form that outputs a selectbox based that contains the column names of the uploaded dataset
