It may not be a good solution, but I'm curious how well my recent adventures [editing views in YAML](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/spotting-non-default-properties-in-perspective-views/70244/6) would work for this... I'm finding a lot of things are much easier and more manageable in the YAML version: weirdly escaped expressions and scripts are directly editable; nesting levels are easier to manage (just add/remove indent to match); and the indent also makes it easier to tell which properties are on which component. I suspect YAML wouldn't fully resolve your complications, but I think it would help. It's dirt-simple, but here: [Minimal JSON-to-YAML converter with smarter multi-line handling ยท GitHub](https://gist.github.com/jbrzozoski/9a12a5b25293cc2be7f09cfa33e6a46e) Only pip requirement is `pip install ruamel.yaml` EDIT: Just tried moving a bunch of bound array items in YAML. It's still a lot of indexing to be manually updated, but it's easier on my eyes to spot them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/the-pain-of-moving-perspective-array-indices-with-bindings/70715)._
