With Drag-It’s stats, you can access a wealth of information, including the updated list, the item that was moved, and both the current and previous index of the item. You can see all of this and more in the image provided.
This list is like what you would get from a repeating group. You can display the new list in another repeating group or save it to a database to manipulate like any other list.
If you have any queries, we are available to assist you.
Thank you for this wonderful plugin. I purchased it straight away. You should be charging more for it. I have one issue and I am not sure if I am doing it wrong or the plugin has an issue.
I have a RG that displays a list of things that are attached to a thing. So it’s like Current page's thing' list of things
I am sorting it just fine and I can save the new list with set list Dragit updated list, but but then the original RG stops “working” and doesn’t update with the new list.
The list in the database updates and I can see it in another RG but this RG which initially has the list and the drag-it attached to it just remains as “it is” for consequent sortings.
My app has an empty repeating group with a text data type. Users can add and remove text items in a repeating group (Data do not get saved in the database) and once they hit the save button, I want to get that repeating group’s list of text data in a rearranged format.
Yeah, it works exactly like that. The plugin is super useful and lightweight from my testing. You can also access many properties of the list on the front end so you can trigger the save either “on list update” or manually with a button.
I hope you are doing well. I’m happy to let you know that Drag It works seamlessly with any data, including everything you can use in Repeating Group. We have also added a new tab based on an example that uses an option set.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance. We are always here to help you out.

I can’t share editor link because it’s for a live app with lots of workflows.
I have the following setup:
The page type is User. Each user has list of Messages on it.
On the page there is a RG - showing This User's List of Messagess.
There is Drag-it element on the page
The RG ID and the ID in the Drag-it is the same
**I reorder the RG, everything works and I can save the updated list in a workflow “Make changes to a thing” → This user → ** List of messagess set list DragIt A's Updated List - It works until this point. The list is saved correctly and I can display it in another RG in real time.
BUT the original RG from where I actually reorder the items stops working. It shows the old order before the reordering and doesn’t refresh with the new list when it is saved. The only solution is to reload the page.
I am having a similar issue. When saving them, they save correctly in the database but the parent RG that is being reordered doesn’t update with the “new” list and acts weird. If I refresh the page - it’s okay.
Hello @kreativorgan
Thank you for purchasing the plugin, I’m glad you find it helpful!
Regarding the issue you’re experiencing with the images jumping to a random place in the repeating group, it’s also possible that there’s something in your settings that may be causing this behavior.
To better understand the issue and troubleshoot it, it would be helpful to have access to your application editor. If that’s not possible, could you create a test app with the same settings to see if I can replicate the issue and find a solution?
(I will add the plugin to that app)
Please let me know if you’re comfortable with providing access to the application editor or if you would like to create a test app. In the meantime, I’ll do my best to assist you in resolving the issue.
Hey @akamarski
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how helpful you are to others - it’s truly valuable.
Regarding the repeating group, unfortunately, we don’t have access to change its data source, through a plugin. However, we provide the updated list through Drag It’s state, so you can get the most recent data from there and use it for any purpose just like RG’s state (list of …).
Also, the repeating group is displaying the same order as the updated list, so I’m curious - is there a specific reason you want to change and update the source repeating group? If you can give me a bit more information, I’d be happy to help you find a solution to any challenges you’re facing.
If you prefer, we can communicate via email or message - just let me know!
I think he’s referring to an issue that happens with other similar plugins as well. they use a “refresh” element action after the save click. The RG data needs to be reset as well.
After your first save if you don’t reset/refresh the RG you’re working with or update the data source the plug-in is still pulling from the original pre reordered source. This tends to only be an issue when the user is trying to reorder save and then continues to reorder without any page switches, resets, or refreshes of both RG and drag element data.
The index’s of the list are just off which is why it appears to reorder images randomly in reality it’s using a pre re ordered list and a new reordered list index orders.
I would like to express my gratitude for your assistance with the challenge we were facing. Your willingness to take the time to explain the issue was truly invaluable to us. It is greatly appreciated.
Rest assured that we are making every effort to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
@akamarski@kreativorgan
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. If we had been aware of the issue beforehand, we would have taken immediate action to rectify it before publishing.
I see you did an update but it still behaves the same way. The original RG that was reorderd becomes messy and does not show the new list in it until page reresh.
Is there anything specific I have to add to the workflow after the DragIt list is updated?
As promised, we have made every effort to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We would like to give special thanks to @chris.williamson1996 for his excellent guidance.
If you update the plugin, a new state called “RG Sync Source” will be added, which you can use for RG data source to resolve conflicts between drag-and-drop and repeating groups.
