Hey there, im testing the new accordion component. Previously i did it with Buttons and Collapse. But i wonder if there is any possibility to keep one accordion item open if clicking to another? Are AccordionItems compatible with paternmatch ids? I want to trigger a function and route the output directly to the items children. It also seems like i can only put strings inside the items content. Is this true? Because i got this exception if i put anything else than strings to the items children, like the Button and html.P mentioned the documentary: [Accordion - dbc docs](https://dash-bootstrap-components.opensource.faculty.ai/docs/components/accordion/:)

`Objects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {namespace, props, type}). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.`

Hi @Varlor

This was fixed recently, please try upgrading to `dash-bootstrap-components` v1.0.1rc1
