NavigationLink freezes when trying to revisit previously clicked NavigationLink in SwiftUI

Question

I am designing an app that includes the function of retrieving JSON data and displaying a list of retrieved items in a FileBrowser type view. In this view, a user should be able

Had the same issue - try this. I would call this a hack to be removed when the bug in swiftUI is corrected.

struct ListView: View {
@State private var destID = 0
...
var body: some View {
...
  NavigationLink(destination: FileView(path: "/\(cell.FileID)", displaysLogin: self.$displaysLogin)
   .navigationBarTitle(cell.FileName) 
   .onDisappear() { self.destID = self.destID + 1 }
  ){
   constructedCell(FileType: cell.FileType, FileName: cell.FileName, FileID: cell.FileID) 
  }.id(destID)

Essentially it seems that in some circumstances (iOS 13.3 - Simulator?) the NavigationLink is not reset when the destination view is removed from the navigation stack. As a work around we need to regenerate the Navigation Link. This is what changing the id does. This corrected my issue.

However if you have NavigationLinks that are chained, that is a link that leads to another list of links, then this solution will create side effects; the stack returns to the origin at the second attempt to show the last view.
