    I need to reinitialize kendoDraggable on list of elements that were previously initialized.

    I tried doing:
    $('selector').removeData("kendoDraggable")

    but this does not help: I still get hing from previous definition.

    Hello Yaroslav,

    While this functionality is not officially supported, you could unbind all drag events from the draggable in the following way:

    $("#draggable").unbind(".kendo-dnd"); 

    It is recommended that you submit a request for an official API in uservoice, since it would be more reliable than the above hack.

    Do you know if there is a solution for this now or is the hack method you mentioned still the only way?

    Thanks

    Hello John,

    If you get the instance of the Draggable class, you should be able to detach it by calling its destroy method.

    Here's an example for pulling this one off...

    var $element = $(element);
    if ( $element.data('kendoDraggable') ) {
        $element.data('kendoDraggable').destroy();
    }

    Hello Todd,

    Currently, a similar function is not available for the Draggable widget.

    The Draggable widgets can be destroyed only individually as shown in the previous reply.

    I can suggest submitting a feature request in our feedback portal and based on its popularity we may implement it in a future release:
