No Code Attached Yet bug

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Enable "Content - Load Modules" plugin
  2. Add {loadmoduleid YOUR_MODULE_ID} multiple times in an article
    NOTE:- I have a use case where my module content changes each time the module is loaded on the page e.g I am showing Ads in the module

Expected result

The module content of all the module instances in the article is always the same as the content rendered by the first instance of the module.

Actual result

Each instance of the module in the article should be rendered separately

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 4.1.3
PHP 8.1
System Cache is OFF

Additional comments

This is working as expected in Joomla 3.X but not working in Joomla 4.X

The issue is due to the code in the file on the path given below

JOOMLA/libraries/src/Helper/ModuleHelper.php => Function renderRawModule()

if (!empty($module->contentRendered)) { return $module->content; }

The module content of all the module instances in the article is always the same as the content rendered by the first instance of the module.

This is correct behavior for Joomla 4.
The module with the same ID will produce the same result (it actualy cached on initial call).

I have a use case where my module content changes each time the module is loaded on the page e.g I am showing Ads in the module

It probably better to use multiple module instances.
Also can be own Content plugin instead of module.

So this issue can be closed as expected behavior?

The module with the same ID will produce the same result (it actualy cached on initial call).
@Fedik This is expected behavior and is good to improve the performance but ideally the output should not be cached if the cache is disabled in Joomla global configuration.
