=== PLEASE READ THIS!!! ====
The drag functionality doesn't work when your repeating group contains buttons, inputs, dropdowns, or similar interactive elements. This happens because both clicking a button and starting a drag use the same action (mouse click or touch), which creates a conflict. To prevent accidentally triggering buttons when you want to drag or accidentally starting a drag when you want to click a button, these elements are excluded from dragging.

The best solution is to replace your Button element with a Text element instead. You can make the text clickable by adding a workflow with 'When Text is clicked' and style it to look like a button using background colors, borders, and conditional formatting for hover effects. Text elements work perfectly with both dragging and clicking functionality. Alternatively, you can use a Group element and make it clickable, which also maintains compatibility with the drag feature.

I found the issue: I have a button inside my repeating group with a workflow attached to it. It’s preventing the plugin from working. Could you fix this? Or should I remove my action?
