When choosing from the multiselectbox below, I find that I have to click the options twice in order for it to register in the streamlit application. By default the select shows the years 2017-2019. If I then click ‘2016’ it shows 2016-2019, correctly. If I then click ‘2015’ it show 2016-2019 once…

Hey @Pbennekou , welcome to Streamlit! I assume you’re using the SessionState gist ? This is some bugginess around the SessionState implementation, and how it interacts with Streamlit’s rerun logic. As a workaround, you can do something like this: import streamlit as st from streamlit.ScriptReques…

Thank you Tim, that worked out exactly as intended! I will look forward to the “official” implementation of SessionState in the future, but this will do for now :slight_smile:

I seem to have the same problem with a text area. The solution proposed here does not work for me, I guess as I am doing other things with “session” variables here as well. My current solution is that I present users the message that their next edit will be ignored, which works for a while but is n…

This still seems to be a problem. I have a st.number_input in my script, and it only works correctly on every second press of the step buttons. Every other time it will just reset to the previously displayed value. I am using my own implementation of something like SessionState, however mine saves …

I am using the official SessionState but I still encounter this issue for both selectboxes and text_input (version 0.84.1). The flow is that I load a data set and the first row. The sidebar widgets get populated with the features from the row and the main area shows the observed label and the predi…

Thank you. I see what you mean about using keys for widgets but I don’t know how I would repopulate all the widgets with the new data when I load a new line… EDIT: Oh wait, I think I see it. I can write directly into the state for that key without damaging anything, right? So if I have a function t…

import streamlit as st if 'sel_key' in st.session_state : # do not run this the first time st.write(f'the selected item is: {st.session_state["sel_key"]}') st.selectbox('test me',(1,2,3),index=1,key='sel_key') # no explicit session_state here!

Quick update: I gave up on this. Using widget keys I couldn’t figure out how to get the widgets populated correctly when I loaded a new line (I would get the first index in a selectbox and I’m pretty sure that the text_input widgets would just never change). I decided that writing a caveat and movi…

Thanks a lot! I never really understood what the keys were about and didn’t bother, but using them in this case really solves the problem! :grinning: (And as I had the problem only with one st.multiselect input, applying keys wasn’t too much of an effort in my case.)

I think this may be related to this post

In that post I added a suggested solution with a link to a working example.
