Is there a way to set up the tabbing order between fields in perspective views? I’m setting up things that are somewhat like forms and tabbing between fields doesn’t behave as expected. I haven’t been able to find any options related to this so I have a feeling it’s not currently possible.

This would be governed by the `tabindex` html attribute, but we don’t directly expose that anywhere. I’ll file a ticket to add it as a supported meta prop, which would allow you to add it to any component.

I’ve noticed most input type components seem to tab through according to their z-order. You could try that until the tabIndex property is exposed.

I have a similar need.  
Has this been added to any future updates?  
I do not believe it has be as of 8.0.12.

Thanks!

No, this hasn’t yet been added. We’ll update this thread once it has.
