The current Drag and Drop widget in Mendix works well in web environments but breaks or behaves unpredictably in native mobile apps. This limits usability for mobile-first applications and forces developers to either find unreliable workarounds or completely avoid drag-and-drop features in native apps.
Issue:
Widget does not render properly or throws errors on native mobile.
No equivalent out-of-the-box alternative for native drag-and-drop functionality.
Breaks user experience and consistency between web and native interfaces.
Proposal:
Extend the existing Drag and Drop widget to fully support native mobile platforms (iOS/Android).
Provide official documentation/examples for drag-and-drop usage in native.
If not feasible, introduce a separate native-compatible drag-and-drop widget with core features like reorder, move, and drop actions.
Impact:
Enhances feature parity between web and native apps in Mendix.
Supports building more interactive and modern mobile experiences.
Reduces need for custom native code, improving development speed and maintainability.
