I have a `ModelList` of objects (like a `Story` object with a title and body). When updating an object in my `ModelList`, my UI doesn't change. However, if I add an element to the list, or just re-assign the entire list after changes, then the UI updates. Is this behavior expected? What is the best way to manage changing objects within a list that are represented on a Jetpack Compose UI, like in a VerticalScroller or LazyColumnItems so that it actually updates?

The mutable object needs to back its mutable properties by `mutableStateOf` if you would like compose to see those changes

Other options include keeping the story object immutable and updating the list with a new changed copy

Cool, the latter is what I've tried so far, I'll test out `mutableStateOf`

If you're doing `myModelList[index] = object.copy(one = 1)` and that isn't causing recomposition, please file a bug as it should be seen as a structural change

Just to close the loop, I was only updating a property on my object. Using `copy` to change an object at a list index did work to update the UI, thanks for the help.
