Drag & drop action to populate an XML global variable

zsolt-pinter

Hi Everyone,

How can I make a drag / drop action populate a global variable with a list of dragged elements?

For example I want to drag year elements in random order into a global variable, that I can then use in a hyperblock. It is also important that I would like to allow dragging the same element multiple times, which is not possible with the select element action with multi-selection.

So the drop action would just add further elements to the ent of the xml list in the global variable.

Thanks, Zsolt

You could simply use a number of the added item as a key in the XML and the unique name as a value. That allows you to add even duplicate elements and even edit it by using the index number to replace/delete items. The only problem would be to add a new element in the middle of the XML as you would need to shift the numbers somehow.
