Please don't add to the indexes, the FS you're temporarily using as the argument for the moveTo operation. (and of course, if you don't add it, you won't need to remove it...)
If you describe your use case in a bit more detail, I can perhaps comment on this more. -Marshall On 9/6/2019 2:50 AM, Mario Juric wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for responding. > > I tried with a temporary FS where the key value was set, but I got every > annotation from the index, so that didn’t appear to change anything, and it > also broke my unit tests immediately.
