Items return to original position after drag is complete

[MicahDavid]

Describe the bug
After dragging an item to a new position, after a short period, the item returns to the original position.

Platform & Dependencies
react-native-draggable-flatlist version:
4.0.1

Platform:
iOS

React Native or Expo version:
0.72.7

Reanimated version:
3.6.1

React Native Gesture Handler version:
2.14.0

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.15.Pro.-.2024-04-11.at.12.54.42.mp4

My first guess was the list component was being re-rendered, but it is not.
Here's the basic code:

    const renderItem = ({item,drag}) => {
        return (
            item?.locationBeachId && (
                <ForecastItem
                    drag={drag}
                    key={item.locationBeachId}
                    item={item}
                    openDetails={handleShowDetail}
                />
            )
        )
    }

    return (
        <View>
            {
                favList && (
                        <DraggableFlatList
                            data={favList}
                            renderItem={renderItem}
                            keyExtractor={item => item?.locationBeachId}
                            onDragEnd={({ data, from, to }) => {
                                if (from !== to)
                                    reorderFaves(data)
                            }}
                        />
                )
            }
        </View>
    )

Any suggestions?

[zacharygameiro-ploutospay]

it isn't clear. can you provide more code? does it always snap back or only some of the time?

Yes, it snaps back every time. Here is the entire component. Its worth noting, that this component lives inside a tab view, in case that has any relevance.

I got rid of everything except a simple test list, and still the draggable item returns to its original position.

Here is a test component that I rendered without anything else:

import React, {useState} from 'react'
import {Text, Pressable} from 'react-native'

I'm a colossal idiot. I somehow overlooked that I needed to set the data on the re-order function. Please accept my apology on behalf of my idiocy and for any waste of time. Hopefully if someone is as bit of an idiot as me, they will run across this thread.
