Perspective: How can I reorder array elements **and maintain bindings**?

You can re-order by dragging array elements. As @jlandwerlen suggested, you need to click-hold to the right of the element you’d like to re-arrange. This will NOT bring the binding along. You can’t supply a binding base don arbitrary relative positions to change if the position changes. When you set up a binding within an array, it’s defined in the schema as custom.my_array[x].some_key. dragging the element to a different position results in the binding pointing to the original position because…

[BUG] Bindings on props within array items don't stay with their associated array item if moved to a new array index

There’s another thread on this topic somewhere. Not handy, sorry. Bottom line: it is expected and fundamental behavior of bindings where an array is involved. The binding targets a specific subscript in the array. Move elements around and the binding is now pointing at the “wrong” element. Don’t expect a fix any time soon, if ever.

Also some topics I found:

[FEATURE] Perspective: Allow reordering of property array elements and maintain bindings

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.

[BUG] Bindings on props within array items don't stay with their associated array item if moved to a new array index

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: [image] 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, …

Perspective: How can I reorder array elements **and maintain bindings**?

v8.1.0rc1 Is there any way to rearrange property array elements and still keep the bindings intact within each array element’s objects? The only way I know of to rearrange elements is by copy/paste to text editor, rearrange, copy/paste back on top in Ignition, however this method doesn’t keep bindings intact…
