Panel.instanceManager.addInstance/removeInstance very slow

[ajur]

Hello,

I have following setup:

The first input is a dropdown with entries 1 to 10. The following three inputs are placed into a panel named "panel_child". If the user selects the count of his children, the panel should be displayed in the count, he selected.

I wrote a rule for the dropdown if the value is changed with following code:

var childCount = this.value;
var panelChildCount = panel_child.instanceManager.instanceCount;
if (childCount > panelChildCount) {
  var instancesToAdd = childCount - panelChildCount;
  for (var i=0; i<instancesToAdd; i++) {
    panel_child.instanceManager.addInstance();
  }
} else if (childCount < panelChildCount) {
  var instancesToRemove = panelChildCount - childCount;
  for (var i=0; i<instancesToRemove; i++) {
    panel_child.instanceManager.removeInstance(panel_child.instanceIndex);
  }
}

If only one or two panels are to be added or deleted, it runs smoothly. However, when I need to add or delete many, it becomes very very slow.

Did I do anything wrong in my code?

Thanks for helping me!

@ajur ,

I am also able to reproduce this issue on 6.5.10, when more than 3 instances are added or removed. Seems like a bug. Please log a support case so that it can be fixed. Thanks!

Uhm, that's pity. I try to find a short-term solution myself for so long.
