Part-WB add element to compound

[HoWil]

Hello,
Why can't one add new elements to an existing compound in part-wb? This is possible e.g. for the fusion operation.
One can add or remove elements by drag-and-drop to a fusion.
Please see the attached example where I would like to add the 'Sphere' by drag-n-drop to the 'Compound'.
Should I create an issue/feature-request on the tracker?

Hi HoWil,

Should I create an issue/feature-request on the tracker?

I haven't found an existing one, and this has been requested a few times on the forum. So, please do create a feature request, then maybe a developer will pick this up.

Done ...Please see issue #3136

Hi,

Also looking for this feature, I found this thread as well as a previous one here https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=11424 referencing another issue created before http://freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2498.
I cross referenced the issues in their comments in the tracker.
This would be a great feature addition IMO too because compounds make a powerful way of grouping parts but being unable to add/remove members/children is a pain along the design path. Having to explode/delete then re-create them several time is a burden, and this becomes hardly doable when you have a hierarchy of compounds.

Anyway, thanks for all FreeCAD goodness

Oh boy, this is so embarrassing... As Jérémie wrote, there was an existing feature request, and I'm the one who created it!
