Hello,

This might be a no brainer, but I'm struggling with it.

With a perspective table, is it possible to get the index of the mouse over highlighted row?

For example in this scenario, I wanted to fetch the right table row index when hoovering (row highlighted in red):

Any ideas?

Thank you.

~~It is my understanding this cannot be done without some tricks (JS injection or custom module).~~

~~The only thing you can do is get the **selected** data, not the hovered data. You'd have to at least click on the row.~~

Nevermind, this thread might prove handy:

Thank you for the link, but unfortunately is a no go.

I was trying to get around the lack of drag & drop, had almost everything done (highlights, cursor, ...), but I need to know the destination index.

I feel it's a big handicap when you want to use ignition for something a little more complex then visualization or simple table operations.

Again, thank you for the link.

I'm actually using Victor Declercq [solution](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/dragging-rows-in-perspective-table/68922/8) with very slight modifications, and so far things are looking good.

I'll post an update with the final result, acceptable or not!
