Hi, I’m using the page property _page.props.path_ to compare with the target paths in a menu tree. To create some feedback for the user on which page is active by changing backgroundColors.

The problem I’m facing is that when opening a specific page in my project, the property _page.props.path_ stops updating to other pages. I’ve tried deleting and creating the page again.

I recently implemented this featuring by…

- Having a [Flex Repeater Plus component](https://docs.mussonindustrial.com/ignition/embr-periscope/components/flex-repeater-plus/) repeating all available menu items (Button components) and the Flex Repeater component had a custom prop called `currently_selected`
- Using the `instanceCommon` property to pass the `currently_selected` property to each instance as a param. _Note: If you use a regular Flex Repeater you just pass it as a normal param in the instance `viewParams`._

- The repeated component has a binding on its style that if the `text` param equals the `currently_selected` param it makes the BG color blue, otherwise keeps it transparent. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/8/58470364531ff16dd79faac4f00db893cad7dd5e.png)

Like everything, many ways to get the job done and this is just one of the ways that worked for me. I am sure you could implement something similar with the Navigation components.

Thanks for your suggestion!

I did not find why _page.props.path_ gets stuck. It’s the same thing in 8.3.0 also.

I’ve tested the solution mentioned in: [MenuTree selected item](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/menutree-selected-item/49526). And it looks to work really well.
