Filemaker Go Portal Button Navigation > Freeze Windown not working

Hi everyone,

on a file accessed via filemaker Go 17, I am using a scripted navigation to move records up and down in a portal that is inside a popover.

This has worked in filemaker 12 like a charm and also works on a filemaker client. The records smoothly move up and down the list. 

However in Filemaker Go, the portal follows every move of the script as if it is not aware of the freeze portal.

EG the down button is to move the record one record further down inside the filtered and sorted portal (like so)

This is the script.

- freeze window and go to portal

- go to first line of portal and loop through the portal until I hit the record to move

- go to next line and give the position field the value of my record to be moved

- go to line above and give the position field the value of my record +1

- commit record and refresh portal via an x join 

- go to last line of the portal 

- go to the line of position of my record to be moved. 

Would anyone be aware of this issue or know a workaround to stop the portal from flickering?

Thanks so much
