Is there a way to always trigger recomposition by setting a

MutableState

variable, including when the contents are the same? I've Tried creating my own

SnapshotMutationPolicy

but the

merge

method never gets called.

Override the

equals()

function and return false I guess

This is a code smell. What are you really trying to do?

I've done that already @André Kindwall. Here is a full implementation of my

SnapshotMutationPolicy

private object AlwaysApplyPolicy : SnapshotMutationPolicy<String> {

    override fun equivalent(a: String, b: String): Boolean = false

    override fun merge(previous: String, current: String, applied: String): String? {
        return current
    }

    override fun toString() = "AlwaysApplyPolicy"
}

You should probably ask a new question where you describe what you want to achieve, not how you think you can achieve it (the xy problem). It sounds to me like you are trying to trigger some event, if that is the case then that should be handled by collecting a flow inside a sideeffect

Why do you want to recompose with the same value?
