I’m using a perspective menutree to organize a series of commands that need to be performed and it works well. But I want it to force the menutree to navigate back when a sub item is clicked. Is it possible to force the menutree to navigate back to a previous menu when item is clicked? Is there a script command that will make it go back or refresh/reload the menutree? For example if I click on Sub Item 2 of Main item 1 can I want to force the menu tree to navigate back to the ‘Main menu’? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/9/4912eae8382cb0c858eaa4c2ce6e919a3c96cc3a.png) ---

There is not a way to manage this right now short of refreshing the entire page. I’ve opened an internal feature ticket to provide a component method you could use in scripting (within the `onItemClicked` method) so that custom logic could be used to determine when the “reset” or “collapseSubItems” occurs. ---

Something like that would be great! Thanks I am currently using the onItemClicked Event to know what item I am clicking on (based on the `event.path` list) and adding custom script to accomplish some tasks when items are clicked. If I could just add `self.collapse` when an item is clicked, it would be perfect. ---

That’s the plan, but you would want to check conditions for the clicked item because the `onItemClicked` event fires even when you click on the top-level items; if you don’t pare-down what items actually invoke the component method I’m recommending then it wold result in no item expansion because the top-level items would register the click to expand and then collapse themselves. ---

Understood, thank you. ---

Impressively this does not work. Even if you clear the item property, wait a second, and then reload it. The component remembers its currently selected item and re-navigates to it. ---

That’s actually pretty impressive and probably ideal when the menutree is used for Navigation (like it is intended). I would be happy with a work around in the short term but it doesn’t look like it’s an option. Thanks for giving this a try.
