Hi folks,
The app I’m currently working on features a poem presented as a series of 
fields (each containing one word of the poem) all grouped together, so that the 
poem can be scrolled vertically by the user. I need to be able to add extra 
words to the poem as the user drags them in from a set of words above the poem 
area. Currently I am doing this by ungrouping the poem, adding the new field to 
the list of group items and then re-grouping everything.  I know you can 
reorder group items, and move things in from outside, but the documentation 
seems to suggest that the number of items in the group will stay the same - if 
one item is moved in, another will be moved out. Is there another way to add an 
item to a group, or is ungrouping then regrouping but with an additional item 
in the list of items the only way?


One thing I’m considering is having a set of dummy hidden items already in the 
group and making one of those look like the word the user just dragged in - 
thus it’s already a member of the group and can be scrolled etc with the rest. 
Can anyone think of any better ways of doing it?

Thanks
