Is there a way to change the content of value parameter about streamlit-ace

[cwerner]

Ok, answering my own issue (maybe)... 😉

I achieved the effect I wanted by making sure the ace-editor key argument changes with the different policy selections from the selectbox that I want to show and edit...

    policy = st.selectbox('Existing policies', policy_files)
    policy_json = json.load(policy.open())
    file_content = json.dumps(policy_json, indent=4, sort_keys=True)

    content = st_ace(
        language="json",
        font_size=8,
        height=250,
        value=file_content,
        key=f"ace-editor-{policy_json}",
        auto_update=False,
    )

Hello @cwerner, you found the way! This is how you would refresh regular streamlit widgets as well.
