I'm stuck on this right now, did you find a solution?

If anyone comes across this in the future, I solved this problem with the following: struct View1: View{ @State var KeepView2: Bool = false var body: some View{ if self.KeepView2{ NavigationLink(destination: View2(keepViewOpen: self.$keepView2), isActive: self.$keepView2){ Text("Navigate") } } } } struct View2: View{ @Binding keepViewOpen: Bool var body: some View{ VStack{ Text("Hello World") }.onAppear{ self.keepViewOpen = true } } }
