Is there any way to use an existing viewmodel when navigating to a view?

[GlizzyHacker]

I have a view which I navigate to, then I navigate back. When I navigate to it again the view creates a new viewmodel. Is there any way to have it use the existing viewmodel? I tried setting disposeViewModel to false and it works, the viewmodel isn't disposed, but the view creates a new one anyway. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Yes,

you can set disposeViewmodel to false, which you did, and set createNewViewModelOnInsert to false as well.

Thanks for the reply!
I set createNewViewModelOnInsert to false, but I think it's false by default. I don't know if this is a bug but my issue still persists. A new ViewModel is created.

I modified the default stacked project to create a demo where I am able to reproduce this.

If I navigate back from and to HomeView the counter is reset. Should I create a new issue?

Yes, that would be great.

Please create an issue and link the repo above. We'll use that when we tackle the issue.
