Re-init actions on running action server

Hi, we use custom actions that read data from files on __init__. Is it possible to re-initialize the custom actions on a running action server somehow?

You could move that part to the run function of the Action, can’t you?

Well, in that scenario I would at least have to check if anything changed in my external files on every single user message.

Anyway, I should be more clear about the problem. The action is kind of a FormAction, and these files control the bot behaviour. In the best case scenario, running conversations would go on with the old version, while new conversations use the updated one.
