I wanted to clone a row that has a switch and a label and then populate the cloned labels from a list. That seemed to work but the switches don’t change state when I click on them.

Each click just reverts back to the initial (off/disabled) state of the switch. I can’t enable them.

This is a bug. Do not delete the original Switch to see this bug well.

Did we get passed this bug? I’m having the same issue now.  
I tried creating a switch in the row as well, but the problem persists

I’m not sure. It’s been a while since I’ve checked. It always speeds things along to provide a simple demo that demonstrates the issue.

Settled on using a slider for now with only 2 steps as my on/off
