This should be AN ESSENTIAL feature. I have created a thread in the past and i'm glad to finally come across others who share the same issue so I realise now there's no point in me wasting hours of my time trying anymore, which I unfortunately have done due to not having a solid answer on whether or not it can be achieved on my post.

I can't even get a drag and drop to function without this to be honest. I want my submit button to only appear when a drop target is in use and it is IMPOSSIBLE. This means that the button can appear from 'hidden' to 'normal' (Not using the built in Drop states but that's another bug in itself) when the drag items are dropped on the drop targets but if one returns to initial start point (due to having another drag object being dropped on and the one in place being reset) you cannot change the state of the drag object back to normal.

Basically what is needed is either to be able to reset state to normal when not dropped on a target OR a trigger which recognizes that a drop object is in use. So we can trigger the submit button to disappear again when the object is NOT IN USE.

2016 Now, this should be basic drag and drop functionality to ensure users can actually only submit an answer, when an answer is actually given, not just floating around or back in it's usual starting point.

    More than 3 years and I'm facing the same issues like Lewis described... I know, there is a solution where I have to use a hugh amount of triggers. However, an interaction as essential as "drag and drop" should work without such errors. So: Is there any update regarding this problem?

    Thanks for any help.
