Clone and drag/drop table elements doesnt work.
If You clone say a label in a table cell you cannot drag the cloned item easily to another blank cell.
Use case: Create a table with 10 rows and 2 columns. Add some labels into the cells in column 1 for say 4 rows. Now clone the label in cell 2 - it appears next to the original label. Now try and drag/drop the cloned label to the cell in row 10.
On my app as I start to drag the label cant be seen but in fact it's somewhere outside on the table and within some other container/element. You have to drag up towards the top of the screen and it's almost impossible to drop the label into the required cell.

Also, the same happens if you try and drag a label or other component from the palette to the table (in my app).

One solution would be to have a "cog" icon (but only a paste option) in the empty cell so that instead of drag/drop you could copy and then paste the item (see my other "idea" post.

Hello Steve,

Could you please clarify what kind of project you have (JQM or Bootstrap/Ionic)?

Angular/Bootstrap

Or "Angular" rather than "jQuery" if that's more help

Steve,

Thanks, we'll check and get back to you with the update.

Hello Steve,

Unfortunately this is the bug. We have reported it and will get back to you with the update as soon as possible.
Please note that this can take some time.

Hello Steve,

This is to inform you that we have double checked your case and here is what was discovered.
The Сlone, Сopy, Paste, and Delete options in the Visual Editor seem to work as expected. A cloned component with the same properties should appear right after the original component by default, so it does in my newly created app. If you need to place it somewhere else you can drag it or use the copy option in combination with Ctrl+V.
More details can be found here: https://docs.appery.io/docs/appbuilde....
As for the problem with dragging components to their places, I couldn't reproduce the issue.
Can't those have been the temporary problems with your browser or else?

If I have time I'll do a video for you of what I experience

Hello Steve,

That would be of help. Thanks in advance.
