Replace Action

It is possible to replace (and reload) the current menu, content, or panel data at runtime. This feature is available since version 0.1.144 and allows you to implement session-less tabs, filters, sortings, pagings, and more.
Note: The current menu/content/panel data flag property must match the indicated flag (within the action), otherwise the data will not be replaced. This ensures that the correct data is being replaced. This also means that only data that has a flag property can be replaced. Please note that if the content of a menu item is replaced, the corresponding menu item will retain the replacement when the menu is reloaded/replaced (and the corresponding content is visible). If this behavior is not desired, please execute the action release:content before reloading/replacing the menu (e.g. [release:content|reload:menu]). For dynamic menus, it is recommended to set the id property of the corresponding menu item to ensure that the correct data is being retained, otherwise the menu item index is used (which might change after a reload/replace).
Please see following example code.
