I disagree my good friend. Emmanuel’s built a solid platform.
A drag n drop experience is simply a collection of concepts for us to klack together.
I suggest we not blame Bubble. They are working their butt off to improve this platform with their small team. Drag n drop is a great exercise for us to chew through to sharpen our logical and algorithmic ponderin swaggah.
I frankly feel that the Drag/Drop function is an excellent tool.
I know you’re working on things (as we all are!) Let me know if you’re stuck with any specific thing.
Much Peace

ps. May I ask what it is about Drag/Drop that you find unsatisfying?/what is your use case scenario for which it falls short?
Yes, I saw that post. There are lots of details, but not enough to accurately determine the cause of your user experience woes. I like your arrow-to-the-top/bottom. I created layered zones at the top and bottom of my list to detect pulling way up or down. With a timer attached, the scrolling accelerates exponentially so reaching the top is quite easy. (it’s kinda like that old excel view scrubber thingy)
Seems this has stopped working as of yesterday.
Really weird behavior when dragging (the group disappears, but is ‘somewhere’ as can be seen by the scrollbars) and then just pops back to original location when dragging is done.
It’s weird, but to obtain the behavior you are looking for (drag, drop and stay), you will hide the dragged element when dropped while showing a new element in the new position.
Ie. if you drag between two repeating groups, when you drop you should add the dropped element to the new repeating, therefore making it appear as dropped in the new list.
Hi, I am trying to get the coordinates X, Y of the draggable group, but it is not available any longer. Is there a parameter that needs to be set to make it accessible?
Hi! Great feature! Is there a way that I can drag the group using an icon rather than clicking anywhere on the group? I dont want users to be able to drag from every part of the group shown below. The drag should only work if I click on the 3 bars on the right.
Hey draked123,
Unfortunately droppable areas are always fixed with. I just ended up having to create a design where the droppable area could stay fixed with and everything else around it resizes.
