I’m not sure, it works for me. Note, this is from Ignition 8.0.8. If you’re not getting any errors, then I’m not sure, you could try putting a Print statement in the drop function to insure you are getting the data transfered.

```auto
def drop(self,e):
    e.acceptDrop(e.getDropAction())
    paths = [[path] for path in e.getTransferable().getTransferData(ListOfQualifiedPath.FLAVOR)]
    print paths
    self._comp.data = system.dataset.addRows(self._comp.data,paths) if self._comp.data.columnCount > 0 else system.dataset.toDataSet(['Selected Tags'],paths)

```

That error is saying that the object returned from getTransferable() is `None`.

I would expect you to get that error with or without the `print paths`

Because of this error tag path its not showing in list component?  
So what is the solution for now  
Is there any thing to change?

I don’t know, you’re going to have to do some troubleshooting of your own. The code works for me in my version, and so I would expect it to work in yours.
