Hi Anne,

I suppose you know the function move. You can use it if you know the source id and the target id. You can create a skip/array structure with source and target and loop in a for to move all the desired objects. 

Another option, it should be a dxl script where you put the object you want to move and the destination (below or not) as a parameter and execute that script every time you need it. This is done one by one , but if the user is updating the module and needs to move a concrete object, maybe is a better option

I use something similar to the first option when I want to move objects with deleted status to a Deleted section.

Hope it helps

Hello Anne,

Jorge's answer is good if you are familiar with DXL. However, if you don't want to create DXL scripts, you can move objects simply by cutting and pasting them where you want. I think this is easier than the drag-and-drop solution when there are a lot of objects.

To cut an object, right-click on it and select "Cut". Then, select the object where you want to paste it, right-click again, and choose "Paste", at the same level or one level down.

I hope this helps you!

Regards,

Comment on Juan's answer: it is good to note that cut-operation cuts object and all objects below it in the hierarchy. This is usually handy, but may confuse in the beginning.
