Currently you can rearrange array elements, however bindings aren’t kept intact - they stay with the array index and not with the element you’re moving.

> Hello, I’m encountering a bug and didn’t know where to report it. It’s easy enough to work around, so I didn’t bother submitting a support ticket. I have some parameters I’m passing to an embedded view (using perspective). These parameters include an array of objects: One of these objects (object 4) has a binding on one of its values (position). If I duplicate an object above object 4, Ignition appropriately increments the number of the objects below where the duplicated object is, …

Also occurs on duplication.

Has anyone heard if there is a plan to fix this?

@nminchin I voted on your idea in the ideas forum, but I would call this more of a bug than a feature request.

Did this get fixed? It’s a bit of a pain when you have to go back and make changes to something like a nav menu, and you also have to redo any binding that comes after that change.
