Programmatically Change Pages

[alexgain]

I have the following option menu:

    st.session_state.navigation = option_menu(
        "Trust Builder",
        navigation_options,
        icons=icons,
        menu_icon="list",
        default_index=navigation_options.index(st.session_state.navigation),
        key="selected_option"
    )

I'd like to programmatically change the option selection, e.g. via a button, in some cases. This has always run into errors.

Is there a way to do this?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do and what is not working. Can you please elaborate?

Normally, you have to click on the option to change the selection. This is fine, works as a nav bar should. I'd also like to change the option programmatically, e.g. via a button:

if st.button("Go to My Documents"):
   st.session_state.navigation = "My Documents"
   st.rerun()

However, this doesn't work. You can do this with other types of navigation but not option_menu.
