> Hi, We are facing an issue with the dynamic component usage. As we created 8 of the banner components in the same container in our application. We are getting the warning while we drag and drop the 8th component to the list. [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 26.07.2022 11:41:09 WARN main [ConfigurationContentService.warnForDuplicateOrderBefores:251] Following node(s) reference the same node multiple times in order-before: [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] /hst:cms/hst:configurations/public/hst:wo…

_You can delete the order-before directives from the yaml files_  
so I remove it but now in the top menu the order is not ok

Hello @andorian ,

generally speaking, as long as your items appear in the desired order, this is a harmless warning.

The best way to fix this is to modify the yaml files manually, adjust the order-before property according to the desired order, and resolve the multiple references.

Kind regards.
